Of all the types of supplements out there, sleep aids are probably one of our favorites. Not because we’ve ever had trouble sleeping, but because enhancing that nighttime window has always seemed to improve recovery significantly. Improved recovery, of course, leads to better results and performance in the gym.
Marc Lobliner recently entered that sleep aid market with his MTS Nutrition product, Machine Sleep Aid. As we’ve come to expect from Lobliner and his brand, the supplement features a wide variety of well-dosed ingredients. Due to its formula looking so good, we grabbed a tub of Machine Sleep Aid, and have been putting it to the test over the past couple of weeks.
Gradually drift off
After throwing back a full, one scoop serving of Machine Sleep Aid, it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to start taking effect, just as it says on its bottle. The feeling with this one is quite different to a lot of other sleep aids we’ve tried, however, it does have that promised result of getting you to sleep.
Instead of making you yawn or suddenly feel sleepy, Machine Sleep Aid has this unique ability to make your eyelids gradually feel heavier. If you’re up and doing things at the time it starts working; it’ll encourage you to get to bed a little sooner. If you’re already lying down, it’ll almost force you to close your eyes, and that’s all you’ll remember before waking up the next morning.
Once you’re out for the night that takes you to Machine Sleep Aid’s deep level of sleep, which is very impressive. As mentioned once you close your eyes, it feels like you instantly wake up the next morning. While using the product sleep went 100% undisturbed for us, and more interestingly we didn’t get the usual lucid dreams that come with deep sleep.
Alright with recovery
The other part to Machine Sleep Aid outside of sleep is improving recovery, something we do feel the supplement helps with a bit. We wouldn’t say it has a massive impact on actual recovery as there were times we expected to hurt the next day from a specific workout, and did. That said, you will feel quite refreshed and alert the moment you wake up in the morning, with no grogginess or tiredness hanging around.
Complete sleep support
Overall, Machine Sleep Aid gets the job done. It helps out in a number of critical areas whether you’re looking for something to get you to sleep at night or keep you asleep throughout the night. The product’s recovery isn’t as good as we’ve seen in some of its competitors, although as a sleep aid it is one of the best and most complete experiences out there.
