It’s too hot with the doona on, too cold with it off.
There’s a light in the hallway that’s annoying, a noise outside that won’t stop.
And all you want to do is go to sleep.

For some, sleep comes as easily as lying down but, for millions of Australians, getting a good night’s shut eye is a constant struggle.
A recent study by the Sleep Health Foundation found more than half (59.4 per cent) of respondents reported experiencing at least one sleep symptom three or more times a week.
These include trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or waking too early and not being able to get back to sleep.
Imagine if there was a secret ingredient that could aid in this struggle and, even better, if it tasted good?
It’s what the folk at The Collagen Co. have been focused on and their answer — Collagen Dream Advanced Sleep Formula Hot Chocolate — is helping hundreds of sleep sufferers.
The collagen-infused hot chocolate is full of ingredients known to aid sleep, including Magnesium, Chamomile and Zinc.
It’s also infused with 5g of collagen per serve to promote hydrated skin, thicker hair and stronger nails, which is a great added bonus.
Not only that, but the low calorie, low sugar drink — which is also gluten, dairy and soy free — tastes yummy.
Hundreds of reviews speak for themselves.
“It is delicious and tastes like a naughty chocolate treat,” said one.
“I love the taste of this hot chocolate. This chocolate flavour is true and curbs my chocolate cravings,” said another.
But more importantly, drinkers say the hot chocolate has changed the way they sleep, for the better.
“Amazing. I am a horrible sleeper but that hot chocolate gets me to sleep . No tablets. Swear by it,” said one well-rested customer.
“After too many years of having a bad nightly sleep and taking medication I decided to try something different. To say I noticed an immediate effect is an under statement. My sleep has dramatically improved. Yes an occasional hit and miss but most nights I get at least seven hours and no crazy dreams,” said another.
Those who have recently started having sleep issues after having a baby, or because of menopause, also report great results from drinking the hot chocolate.
“I was struggling postpartum with my sleep, couldn’t relax to fall asleep and consistently woke during the night. Since taking this before bed each night I am able to relax and get to sleep and sleep through,” said one new mum.
“Collagen Dream Advanced Sleep Formula has been my saving grace. Since I started having menopause symptoms I haven’t been able to get a good night sleep until now,” said another woman.
The Collagen Co. focuses on solutions to a range of common problems including improving gut health and immunity as well as helping with thicker hair and stronger nails.
“Wonder powder,” said one about the best selling Strawberry Watermelon Collagen Powder, designed to help with ageing and turn the glow way up on your hair, skin, nails, joints and gut.
“Best product ever. OMG it changed my life,” said another, referring to the Strawberry Milkshake Collagen Meal Replacement, designed to help with weight loss.
