Interview: "I'd been sleeping poorly for years – until I tried Sleep Bears"
Name: Marieke (38)
Occupation: HR advisor
Place of residence: Utrecht
What was your night's sleep like before Sleep Bears?
Very restless. I had trouble falling asleep, often agonized over work or social matters, and woke up several times during the night. Sometimes I wouldn't fall asleep until around 3 a.m. Of course, I'd be completely exhausted during the day, and that, in turn, led to stress.
Have you tried other solutions?
Yes, really everything. Meditation apps, sleep tea, melatonin, earplugs, podcasts. Some things helped a little, but nothing was consistent. Melatonin worked, but it made me feel groggy in the morning.
How did you end up at Sleep Bears?
Through a colleague. She gave me two sample gummies because she knew I was sleeping poorly. I was intrigued by the idea of a gummy with calming herbs and doxylamine. And I was especially pleased that it wasn't as strong as the sleeping pills from my doctor.
What struck you when you started using Sleep Bears?
The first night, I actually fell asleep within 40 minutes—so special. It didn't feel forced, more like my mind finally got the message: it's okay to stop. And I woke up the next morning feeling clear-headed, without feeling groggy. That was such a relief.
Do you still use it every day?
Not every day. Sometimes I take a break for a few days when I feel my rhythm is back to normal. But if I've had a stressful day, or if I feel like my mind is still on, I take one Sleep Bear about an hour before bedtime. That works perfectly for me.
Would you recommend Sleep Bears to others?
Absolutely. Especially for people struggling with busyness in their minds. For me, it's become a kind of anchor. I know that when I take a Sleep Bear, my body understands: it's time to switch off.
Last question: How would you sum it up in one sentence?
“Sleep Bears have transformed my evenings from stressful to restful – without any hassle or side effects.”
