“I wasn't expecting much honestly. I've tried melatonin and magnesium and neither really did much for my daytime sleep. It took a few nights, but I started sleeping a little longer after my shifts. Not every day is perfect, but it's become part of my routine.”
Jenna H. — Pittsburgh, PA
“I work nights and the biggest issue for me was waking up after 3 or 4 hours and not being able to fall back asleep. That's improved quite a bit since I started using this. I'm still not sleeping like a teenager, but I'm getting enough sleep to feel a lot better.”
Sarah M. — Santa Clara, CA
“Melatonin always seemed hit or miss for me, and sometimes I'd wake up feeling like I hadn't slept at all. I like this better because I don't feel knocked out. I just feel like my sleep is more consistent.”
Jessica G. — Denver, CO
“I didn't notice some huge difference the first night. After about a week, though, I realized I wasn't checking the clock nearly as much when I woke up. That's probably the best way I can describe it, my sleep just seems less broken up.”
Jake D. — Spokane, WA
“I get home around 7am and sleeping during the day has always been the hard part. Blackout curtains and a cold room helped, but I was still waking up too early. This has helped me stay asleep longer, which is really what I needed.”
Heidi V. — Syracuse, NY
“I've been working nights for 8 years and my sleep has always sucked. Tried this for about a week and I'm actually getting another hour most days.”
Greg C. — Tampa, FL
You walk out at 7am into full sunlight. Birds. Traffic. Lawnmowers.
Your body gets one message: WAKE UP.
Maybe you fall asleep fine. Four hours later you're wide awake, staring at the ceiling, with another 12-hour shift tonight.
Curtains and white noise can't fix the real problem: to stay asleep, your body needs to cool down. At 9am, your body clock is pushing the other way.
That's why day sleep feels thin. You're not broken. You're fighting physics.
Real language from night-shift communities: nurses, EMS, plant crews. Not customer testimonials.
“I'm always maxed out at four hours.”
“Falling asleep is quick and easy. It's the staying asleep that's hard.”
“I lose my entire day trying to catch up on sleep.”
That last one is the real cost. This was built to help you take your daytime back.
Melatonin.
Magnesium.
Benadryl.
Blackout curtains.
Eye mask.
White noise.
Freezing-cold bedroom.
And somehow you're still staring at the ceiling at 1:37 PM.
Off-Shift was built for a different problem: sleeping when the rest of the world is waking up.
Your body cools itself to fall asleep. About 1.5°F, released through your hands and feet. At night, this happens on its own. In daylight, after a shift, your body clock fights it.
3,000 mg of glycine is the dose used in published human sleep research, printed right on the label. It helps your body release that heat so your core can cool down. No proprietary “sleep technology.” A studied dose with a mechanism you can look up.
And glycine doesn't work alone. Four more ingredients back it up, each at a real dose, each printed on the label.
One stick in water after your shift. That's the whole system.
That number isn't arbitrary. 3 grams is the dose used in published human glycine sleep studies.

Review of human glycine sleep research, including studies using 3 g before bed and reporting improved subjective sleep quality. Bannai & Kawai, J Pharmacol Sci, 2012.
View on PubMed →3 g glycine and short sleep
Healthy volunteers under partial sleep restriction took 3 g before bed; glycine was associated with less fatigue and better psychomotor-vigilance performance the next day. Bannai et al., 2012.
View on PubMed →The temperature mechanism
Preclinical research found glycine increased peripheral heat loss and reduced core temperature while promoting sleep. Kawai et al., Neuropsychopharmacology, 2015. Animal study — mechanism support, not human proof.

3,000 mg is the foundation. The rest is the formula. Most sleep blends hide a sprinkle of everything inside a “proprietary blend.” We print every dose, because ours are real.
| Ingredient | Dose | The job |
|---|---|---|
| Glycine | 3,000 mg | The foundation. Helps your body release core heat so you can fall asleep in daylight. The dose used in published human sleep research. |
| Magnesium glycinate | 200mg | The body. A well-tolerated form of magnesium. Supports calm, settled muscles after a 12-hour shift. |
| L-theanine | 200mg | The mind. For when your body's home but your brain is still at work. Studied for relaxation. |
| Apigenin | 50mg | The wind-down. The compound chamomile tea is famous for, without drinking a pot of it at 7am. |
| Saffron extract | 30mg | The wake-up. A standardized saffron extract studied for sleep quality. Because the goal is also how you feel when the alarm goes off. |
Melatonin-free. Drug-free. No sedating antihistamines, nothing to quit later.

7:15 AM
Shift ends.
You're exhausted. Your body isn't ready for sleep. Sunglasses on.
8:00 AM
Home.
Curtains shut. Phone away. Room cold. You've done all this before.
8:15 AM
One stick in cold water.
Tart cherry. No pills, no dosing math. That's the whole ritual.
8:30 AM
Lights out.
Nothing sedating. Nothing to sleep off before tonight's shift.
The goal isn't to knock you out. It's helping your body make the temperature drop it needs, so sleep lasts, even in daylight.
Night 1
The ritual starts.
One stick in water when you get home. Tart cherry, lightly sweet, caffeine-free. Glycine was studied for its effects on the very first nights of use. This isn't a “wait 90 days” supplement.
Week 1–2
The routine settles.
Most of the published glycine research measured improvements across the first several nights of consistent use.

Your call.
By now you know. If it hasn't earned a place in your routine, email us for a refund. Keep the pouch.
Every sleep product on the shelf assumes your night ends at midnight. Yours ends at 7am, so we started over.
We read hundreds of night-shift posts before we built this. Nurses, EMS, plant crews, security. The same fears kept coming up: what the nightly antihistamine might be doing long-term. Not wanting to lean on melatonin every morning. Waking up foggy with a 12-hour shift ahead.
So the rules were simple: melatonin-free. Drug-free. Every dose printed on the label. No melatonin. No sedating antihistamines. No complicated sleep stack.
Especially if your problem is:
“I can fall asleep. I just can't stay asleep during the day.”
Try Off-Shift. If it doesn't earn a place in your routine, email us within 60 days for a refund. No return. No forms. No hassle. That's how sure we are.
