Really wish I could say more, but loose lips sink ships... 
You know, I'll be honest and tell you I don't know. What I can say, is that it'll be unique insofar as 1.) Allowing you to fall asleep and 2.) Keeping you asleep.alangley wrote:Rob, would this new product be a good supplement for someone on CPAP?
Lack of/poor quality sleep is an epidemic in this country and increasingly, around the world. Where most formulas fall short is in a number of areas:
*Some put you to sleep, but can't keep you there
*Most fail to account for what occurs during the various stages of sleep
*Virtually all of them lack ingredients that would benefit you during each stage
*There is no "transitional guidance" provided by the formula to successfully navigate you from one stage of sleep to the next. One shot "sleeping pills" are the biggest culprit, which is why so many are left groggy in the AM.
Let's take a closer look.
Stage 1
Stage 1 is the beginning of the sleep cycle, and can be considered a transition period between wakefulness and sleep. In Stage 1, the brain produces high amplitude theta waves, which are very slow brain waves. This period of sleep lasts only 5-10 minutes.
Stage 2
Stage 2 lasts around 20 minutes. The brain begins to produce bursts of rapid, rhythmic brain wave activity known as "sleep spindles". Body temperature starts to decrease and heart rate begins to slow.
Stage 3
Slower brain waves known as delta waves begin to emerge during stage 3. Stage 3 is a transitional period between light sleep and a very deep sleep.
Stage 4
Stage 4 is often referred to as delta sleep because slow brain waves known as delta waves occur during this time. Stage 4 is a deep sleep that lasts for approximately 30 minutes. Most reports of sleepwalking occur in stage 4.
Stage 5
Dreaming occurs during the fifth stage of sleep, known as rapid eye movement (REM). REM sleep is characterized by increased respiration rate and increased brain activity. REM sleep is also referred to as "paradoxical" sleep because while the brain and other body systems become more active, muscles become more relaxed. Dreaming occurs due because of increased brain activity, yet voluntary muscles become paralyzed.
Important to point out that sleep does not progress through these stages sequentially. Sleep begins in stage 1 and progresses into stages 2, 3 and 4. After stage 4 sleep, stage 3 and then stage 2 sleep are repeated before entering stage 5. Once REM sleep is over, the body usually returns to stage 2.
Your body cycles through these stages approximately four or five times over the course of the night.
It's my opinion that many (too many) are being robbed of 2 or more of these cycles. This is to say nothing of what nutraceuticals can (and will) do to boost athletic performance, anti-aging and longevity by leveraging this information.
Trust me on this guys, I've done my homework. It'll be worth the wait, and unlike anything you've ever seen (or experienced!) before...
