From Roy, founder of Settl
Tried five things for 3am? Here’s why they didn’t stick.
Most people who email me tried the same five things first. Here’s the list, why each one falls short, and what I’d try next.
What one scoop of Settl is built for:
- Get to sleep faster
- Wake less at 3am
- Sleep deeper
- Wake up refreshed
The list is always the same.
When someone emails to say Settl worked for them, they usually tell me what didn’t. Melatonin. A magnesium tablet. Phone off at nine. A podcast to fall asleep to. Something stronger from the chemist. Some of them tried all five.
None of those are silly. Each one fixes part of the night. The trouble is the 3am wake-up sits in the part they don’t reach.
Eight things I’d tell you before you buy another sleep product.
-
Melatonin gets you down. It doesn’t hold the night.
It’s aimed at falling asleep, which is the first half. Plenty of people drop off fine, are awake at 3am anyway, and then feel foggy until lunch.
-
A magnesium tablet might be the wrong kind.
A lot of cheap tablets use magnesium oxide, the kind that’s harder on your stomach. And it’s one ingredient doing one job.
-
Phone off at nine helps. It isn’t enough on its own.
Good habit, keep it. But plenty of people do everything right at 9pm and still surface at three with their head running.
-
White noise drowns out the room, not your head.
A fan or a podcast covers the noise around you. The noise inside, tomorrow’s list and the 3am replay, keeps going underneath.
-
The stronger stuff leaves you heavy.
Anything strong enough to knock you out tends to still be in your system at 7am. You swap a bad night for a bad morning.

You’re thinking this is flavoured water with a markup. Fair.
I’d think the same. Most sleep powders won’t tell you the dose, and plenty of them are mostly flavour. So don’t take my word for it. Read the label.
-
Every dose is printed, and it’s the stack I took for two years.
Before Settl, I bought these ingredients separately. Six jars on the bench at 9pm, six scoops, counting doses after the kids were finally down. Four of them, so it was never early.
Settl is that stack in one scoop: 3,000mg of glycine, 200mg of L-theanine, magnesium glycinate, inositol, chamomile, and 1,000mg of sodium with 200mg of potassium. No melatonin. The full panel is below.
Why the sodium
An electrolyte layer, so eight hours without water does not wake you dried out and needing to get up. Settl has 1,000mg of sodium and 200mg of potassium in every scoop. If you take a morning electrolyte sachet, you’ll know the dose.
-
Try it for 30 nights. If it’s not for you, I’ll refund it.

From people who’d tried everything too.
“I had a drawer full of half-used tubs and tablets. This is the only one I’ve finished, and I’m on my third.”
“I was on melatonin for a year and hated the fog the next morning. This doesn’t do that. Clear head at six, none of that hungover feeling.”
“The 3am thing was the killer for me. Wake up, brain switches on, night over. That still happens now and then, but I get back down instead of lying there until five.”
The questions people ask before they try one more thing.
What if I’m tired but still wired?
That’s the one Settl is built around. One scoop in cold water as the last thing you do, with 200mg of L-theanine and 3,000mg of glycine, so the evening has somewhere to land.
Will it leave me groggy?
No melatonin, so there’s no hormone to clear when you wake up. That’s exactly why it isn’t in the formula.
What does it taste like?
Passionfruit, salty-sweet, a bit like a cordial. It tastes a little salty on purpose: that’s the 1,000mg of sodium. Sweetened with thaumatin, no caffeine, no colours.
What if it does nothing for me?
Give Settl 30 nights. Not sleeping better? Email us and we refund your first tub. No forms, no reason needed, no return shipping. Keep the tub.
How do I cancel or pause?
Skip, pause or cancel anytime from your account. No calls, no fees.
When will it arrive?
Order before 2pm Sydney time and it leaves Sydney the same day. Free shipping Australia-wide, 1 to 4 business days, tracking by email.
Who is it for?
Adults only. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication, check with your GP first. Settl is high in sodium, so if a health professional has told you to watch your salt, check with them before you use it.
Where is it made?
Packed in Sydney, in a TGA-licensed GMP facility. Settl is a food, not a listed medicine. That licence is not a TGA approval of this product and we do not hold one.
Try it for 30 nights.
