The short answer is that this helps prevent the tendency to adapt or habituate. Living organisms are experts at adapting to things. Exercise is an excellent example of this. When we start a new exercise program muscles, and other systems like the heart and lungs, adapt to it, which allows us to perform better. To optimize our response to exercise, we need to perform it, and allow time to recover from it. By doing something intermittently, instead of continuously, we typically get more benefits and continue to get benefits over long periods of time.
The simplest answer is “any adult who would benefit from getting sounder sleep and feeling more energized, alert, and focused the next day.” That said, Qualia Night was specifically designed for people:
Who might have trouble de-stressing or winding down after work;
Who want to be productive during the night hours but with a sense of calm energy / unhurriedness;
Who are interested in supporting long-term brain performance;
Who want to slowly enhance sleep quality without taking herbs/supplements that are designed to produce a feeling of sleepiness shortly after taking them.
Qualia Night is a dietary supplement designed to support the brain and body in shifting gears from our active daytime physiology into what’s needed to relax, support healthy sleep, and wake feeling refreshed. It is a blend of 25 carefully selected ingredients that can help give you support to get quality sleep and more productive daytimes.
Can I take Qualia Night while intermittent fasting?
Yes. We consider Qualia Night to be compatible with intermittent fasting.
The intermittent fasting window I follow means that the last food I eat is more than several hours before going to bed. What should I do?
It’s fine to take Qualia Night earlier so that the timing matches when you’d be eating your last food before going to bed that night.
There are many dietary supplements available which claim to help people sleep. They typically use herbs intended to produce sleepiness, high doses of melatonin, or both. Unfortunately, these approaches don’t comprehensively address everything needed to produce high quality sleep. Qualia Night is designed to support the important pathways required for quality sleep and the processes that allow for cellular rejuvenation. Some of the reasons that we have difficulty with relaxing at night and getting quality sleep have to do with brain energy production, sleep homeostasis mechanisms, pineal gland melatonin production, the brain’s main inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, gut-brain axis performance, brain growth & regenerative factors, and stress. Qualia Night was designed to support all of these areas. It does this without relying on botanical sedatives or giving melatonin. Instead, it is designed to help the brain better self-regulate, making more of what would help it at night and less of what won’t.
No. It’s fine to take a lower dose. A small subset of users prefer taking only 1 to 2 capsules. While 4 capsules is the recommended dose, and is the most common way users take Qualia Night, it is fine to adjust the dose lower as needed to find what works best for you and your chemistry.
Most users notice one or more of the following within the first two weeks of taking Qualia Night: (1) feeling more relaxed at night, (2) experiencing sounder sleep, (3) waking more refreshed and energized, and (4) having more productive days. While Qualia Night was designed to work over time, it’s not uncommon to experience some of these within a few days of starting Qualia NIght.
We don't have exact calorie data on any of our formulations. Calories are not a standard part of labeling for dietary supplements, because, unlike foods, or macronutrients (e.g., fats, carbohydrates, proteins), vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbs don’t have clearly defined calorie counts.
Qualia Night does not contain any ingredients reported to interact negatively with alcohol. But, in general, alcohol interferes with getting high quality sleep, so we don’t recommend having more than 1 or 2 drinks in order to get the most benefits from taking Qualia Night.
Our general recommendation is to take Qualia Night several hours before bedtime, but this is not a hard rule. A small subset of users have found that Qualia Night has worked better for them when taking it closer to going to bed. So it is fine to adjust the timing as needed to find what works best for you.
Take up to 4 capsules at dinner or several hours before bedtime. This product is non-sedating and designed to be taken earlier in the evening (unlike before bedtime sleep aids). Night is designed to be taken 5 days on and 2 days off each week. It does not matter if the "off-cycle" days are consecutive or apart, so long as they happen each week.
