Three taps, before anything else /

Is this his pattern?

He falls asleep without much trouble.

Every so often, he's awake around 3 a.m.

He snores loudly — and you've heard him gasp, choke or stop breathing.

Just the snoring? Small Hours isn't made for snoring — see the FAQ.

Start with his doctor, not a supplement — ours included.That pattern can be sleep apnea. It needs a doctor and a sleep study, and we'd rather lose the sale than have you skip that. What sleep apnea looks like (AASM) →
Then read the label below.Small Hours supports restful sleep.† It isn't a sleeping pill. See what's in it ↓
Then this probably isn't his bottle.We made Small Hours for the man who's up around 3 a.m. If that isn't him, we'd rather say so now.

Same bed /

Two different nights.

His side. Some nights: out by eleven, up at 3:07. The day keeps replaying.

Your side. You can tell by his breathing that he's awake again. You lie still so he doesn't feel watched.

That's a different problem from bedtime. Melatonin is mostly taken as a bedtime signal — to help the night start. That isn't his problem, and there's none in Small Hours.

31% of US adults have moved someone to another bed or room to get through the night.American Academy of Sleep Medicine survey, 2,007 US adults, June 2025.

What it is /

Small Hours. Two capsules, about an hour before bed.

Three ingredients, each at the daily dose used in a published human trial of that ingredient. Not a knockout pill.

“I found a sleep formula that lists every dose and links each one to the study it came from. Figured you'd want to check it yourself.”

Show him: the doses and their studies →

“I know you're fine. I'm the one awake at 3 with you. Try it — we have 90 nights from delivery to decide, and if it does nothing for you, it's one email and we get the money back.”

“This one has no melatonin, nothing meant to knock you out, and every dose is on the label. Give it a few weeks before you judge it.”

Show him: what the studies measured →

Whichever line you use, the studies ran for weeks, not one night.

The paperwork /

You've bought things before. Some are still in the drawer.

If it's junk, you're the one who picked it. So: paperwork first.

“I read every email myself — including the ones that start ‘this didn't work.’”Oleg, founder

What the studies measured — and when.

Studies of the single ingredients, not of Small Hours itself. So: no promises about any week.

  1. Night 1

    Don’t expect a dramatic first night.

  2. Week 4

    Two ingredient trials measured sleep at four weeks: saffron, in adults with self-reported sleep problems PMID 32056539, and L‑theanine, in healthy adults PMID 31623400.

  3. Night 90

    Ninety nights from delivery. If it isn't working, you still have 30 days after this to ask for a refund.

Her questions, not ours /

Before you give it.

When can I order it?
Not yet, and there's no date we can promise. Leave your email and we'll email you the day it goes on sale. If you're planning it as a holiday gift: we can't promise it will be on sale in time, and we'd rather tell you now than at the last minute.
What do I say when I give it to him?
Less than you think. Pick one of the three lines above, hand it over, and let the label do the talking. Men who roll their eyes at wellness rarely roll their eyes at paperwork.
If it's a gift for later, when do the 90 nights start?
From the day it's delivered, not the day you give it. Buying ahead for a holiday? Ship it close to the day. If this is your first paid order with us, you have 90 nights from the day it arrives, plus 30 days to ask: if it's not for him, one email from you refunds the bottle in full, and he keeps what's left. One refund per customer.
How do I know it isn't sleep apnea?
You can't rule it out from your side of the bed — a doctor can. Loud snoring with gasping, choking or pauses in breathing is a reason to see one before trying any supplement, ours included. Not sure? Ask his doctor first — we'd rather you did.
Will it help his snoring?
No — and we'd rather say so now. Small Hours isn't made for snoring, and we don't claim it does anything for it. If his snoring is what keeps you awake, that's a different problem from his 3 a.m. Loud snoring most nights or heavy daytime sleepiness is worth raising with his doctor — and if there's gasping or pauses in breathing, see the answer above.
Is it safe with his medications?
Do not use if he is under 18, has liver disease or takes immunosuppressants. Ask his doctor before use if he takes any medication — especially sedatives, antidepressants, thyroid, blood-pressure, diabetes or blood-thinning drugs — or has a thyroid, autoimmune, kidney or other medical condition, or has surgery scheduled. Stop use and see a doctor if he develops yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, abdominal pain, unusual tiredness or itching, or any other adverse reaction. Not for use if pregnant or nursing. Keep out of reach of children. The full warnings are on the label and on our safety page.
Can I ship it straight to him?
Yes. Enter his address as the shipping address at checkout. The order confirmation goes to the email you check out with.
Will it leave him groggy in the morning?
Everyone reacts differently, and we can't promise how any morning will feel. If his mornings feel off, he can stop taking it — and if this is your first paid order with us, you can ask for a refund within 90 nights of delivery, plus 30 days to ask.
