January 27, 2015  23:50

Scientists from Stanford University have managed to develop a new sleeping spray, which is sprayed on the neck for 2 times.

If the user wakes up in the middle of the night, another squirt of the spray, called Sprayable Sleep, will send them back to sleep, The product's developers claim, the new spray prevent people from feeling groggy the next day, The Daily Mail reports.

'' Sprayable Sleep is the world’s first  melatonin spray – which helps you get to sleep when you need to'', the developers say.

It should be noted that the human body is supposed to naturally produce melatonin when it becomes dark out.

The constant use of electronic device, which emit artificial light, can keep people from producing melatonin until later in the day

The average person needs 0.03mg of melatonin to help them fall asleep, though the majority of melatonin pills have 100 to 300 times that

Those who have already tried taking melatonin in pill form might have felt as if they had hangovers the next morning.

For some, the extreme dosage throws their circadian-rhythm off and keeps them awake instead.

Sprayable Sleep works with different principle by seeping into the body at a gradual rate throughout the night and contains 30 times less the amount of melatonin than most pills.

The spray itself is a mix of melatonin, tytosine, and distilled water.
