40p-per-day sleep supplement praised for making a 'huge difference' helps people 'drift off'
Sleep is crucial for recovery, boosting and supporting the immune system, heart health, cognitive function and more - and many of us aren't getting enough of it. Those battling with sleep issues have likely explored the various sleep supplements available, but it's not always clear which are effective and which are essentially overpriced chewy sweets.
Shoppers who have had problems with restless nights have sung the praises of Protein Works' Sleep Deep supplement, which is currently on sale for £11.99, reduced from £19.99. The science-backed formula claims to aid in achieving some much-needed shut-eye - and shoppers have said it has helped them get their 'best' night's sleep.
The supplements contain calming plant extracts such as lemon balm, lavender, and chamomile, along with essential minerals like magnesium to help alleviate fatigue and the dreaded brain fog the following day. The key ingredient, however, is L-Tryptophan, an amino acid that assists in the synthesis of serotonin, the 'feel good chemical' in the brain, as well as melatonin, the hormone that signals to the body when it's time to sleep, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Speaking about the sleep supplement, Kyle Crowley, Chief Product Officer at Protein Works, explained: "We designed Sleep Deep around the real science of sleep. It's not just to help people fall asleep faster, but to support the deeper sleep stages that truly restore your body and brain.

"One of the key ingredients is L-Tryptophan, which helps the body produce serotonin and melatonin. These are both essential for sleep quality and mood regulation.
"This isn't just about sleep. It's about how well you live during the day. Deep, uninterrupted sleep supports a healthy metabolism, sharper thinking, improved memory, and better appetite control, which is why many users report benefits like improved mood and weight management over time."
For those keen on exploring their options when it comes to sleep supplements, You're Looking Well Night Pill, priced at £32.50 for a 30-day supply, is available from SpaceNK. This supplement boasts ingredients such as magnesium bisglycinate and L-theanine to aid in relaxing the body, hastening the process of falling asleep, and ensuring sound sleep throughout the night.
Alternatively, there's the Novomins Night-Time 60 Gummies, which can be bought for £19.99 at Holland and Barrett. These chewable gummies come with an array of beneficial additions including magnesium, vitamin B12, L-Theanine, and others
Protein Works' sleep supplement has garnered numerous positive reviews. One person raved: "As a shift worker, my sleep routine is awful. Since purchasing these, I can genuinely say that they have given me the best night's sleep. They have literally saved me for countless sleepless nights."
Someone else added: "I started taking Sleep Deep capsules just over a week ago. I've noticed a huge improvement from the first morning waking up that I feel so much more refreshed than I used to.
"I don't wake during the night and I don't feel like I have brain fog anymore during the day. I feel like I have a lot more clarity. I also haven't had my usual insomnia since taking them"
Another reviewer shared their success with the supplement and said: "These have made a huge difference to my sleep routine! I used to be awful at getting up at 7am! Now I'm waking before my alarm!" "Made an instant difference," said another user, who wrote: "relaxes me and helps me drift off."
While many people are calling this particular supplement a 'game changer', over on Trustpilot, some buyers haven't been too pleased with their experience regarding the delivery. One customer remarked: "My order was lost by the delivery people," although they added: "Protein Works sorted it quickly and very easily! Very happy with the customer service!" Another commented on the pace of delivery: "Delivery slower than I'd expect."

Man makes 'unexpected' hospital visit with infection and dies just 13 days later
Ben Boyle, 37, died just days after he was admitted to hospital with what had been a urine infection - it turned into sepsis which resulted in kidney failure A man died just 13 days after an "unexpected" visit to the hospital for an infection. Ben Boyle, 37, from Clitheroe, Lancashire, suddenly fell ill toward the end of October 2023 and was admitted to Manchester Royal Infirmary with what had been a urine infection. The family of the Everton FC fan were then told the infection turned into sepsis and that he also caught a blood virus, which resulted in kidney failure. But 13 days after being admitted, Ben died with his parents by his bedside on November 5. His mum, Gillian Barnes, 63, spent the last days of her son's life by his bedside on a camp bed. Gillian's husband as well as Ben's stepddad, Alan Barnes, 65, said Ben's hospital admission was "unexpected" and they thought he would be in for just three or four days, the Liverpool Echo reports. He told the outlet: "He went in with a urine infection and we thought he would be in for a few days, three or four days, but after three days he got sepsis and endocarditis which affected his heart. "Ben's body was retaining over eight litres of fluid which needed draining. His kidney started packing up so they put an emergency line into his groin but it wasn't working. "The day before he died was his mum's birthday and we spent it in hospital at his bedside while he was having a blood transfusion. We had a Chinese. "On the morning Ben died, his favourite singer was going to come onto the ward and sing some of his favourite songs for him, but I had a call to say Ben had taken a turn for the worst and had to cancel. When I arrived they had just brought Ben back to life and we spent some time with him before he died. He will be a big void in my life." Earlier in his life, Ben was diagnosed with the rare Bardet Biedl Syndrome, a genetic condition which affects several parts of the body. The condition led to Ben being registered blind and having learning difficulties. Ben had three kidney transplants throughout his life with Alan describing how they had "seven bonus years" with him. His parents called him "quick witted" with the ability to make "everybody laugh." In addition to his love for Everton, he also enjoyed wrestling and never missed an episode of Question Time. Alan, who grew up in Newton-Le-Willows, said: "He had been through hell and back but he never moaned and was always cheerful. He was so quick witted, he would make everyone laugh. "We would try to get him to as many matches as we could at Everton and managed two or three per season. The stewards and staff were always so lovely to him, especially when he was invited to the ground as a special guest of the club after an operation he had. "When his brother [Andrew] died 11 years ago, the funeral directors said to us that Ben could stay there for a few hours, and they took him on a trip to McDonald's in the hearse for a Happy Meal. "He gave a tall member of staff a nickname... The Grim Reaper as he drove around in the hearse. That was Ben. Although he was 37, he was very much a child in some ways. He loved the Jungle Book and his favourite character was Baloo, we got him a bear from a trip to Florida and it went everywhere with him, we're putting it in his coffin along with his Christmas presents." Ben is survived by his mum Gillian, stepdad Alan and his younger brother Jimmy. A GoFundMe page has been set up after the family was unable to get life insurance due to Ben's kidney transplant. In just one day, the family raised about £800.

'Our son had world at his feet - we didn't know what was happening behind smile'
Chris McLean's 21-year-old son Josh Perry died after falling from a car park in Liverpool and he now wants to spread the message about how important it is to speak about your problems A dad has told how his 21-year-old son who plunged to his death from a city centre car park had the " world at his feet" but people didn't know what was going on "behind the smile". Chris McLean's son Josh Perry died after falling from the building on March 14 this year, resulting in a huge outpouring of grief from family and friends - who had no idea the "talented" young man was suffering in silence. Chris now says: "I wish he knew how much he was loved." Now Chris and pal Craig Morris have pledged to make a difference in the fight for mental health support as they take on a massive charity hike from Scarborough to Liverpool. Chris, from Bootle, said: "Josh had a great upbringing. He went to a private school, St Mary's in Crosby, he got a rugby scholarship to play for them. So he was a very talented young boy with the world at his feet. Schoolboy, 13, has both legs amputated after 'getting cramp' at sports camp "He had a job at Barclays where he was very highly thought of. You just don't realise what's happening behind people's eyes. Unfortunately, people don't talk about these problems. "I've been there myself and not spoke about it openly. It's the biggest killer of men under 50 and it's a sad tale. People are told to 'man up', but it shouldn't be 'man up', it should be 'speak up', because they aren't speaking. They might put a smile on their face, but it's what's happening behind the smile that people don't understand. "Josh had 400 or 500 people at his funeral. It was absolutely heaving. I just wish he knew how much he was loved. He hid his feelings away. I just wish he had spoken to me, his mum or his sister. Unfortunately that didn't happen. If his story can save just one person, it's worth it. If mine and Craig's walk can save one person, it's going to be worth all the blood sweat and tears we're going to go through." Chris and Craig will embark on their 140-mile journey from Scarborough sea front on August 25, with the aim of arriving back in Liverpool on August 29, reported the Liverpool Echo. Craig, from Orrell Park, is walking in memory of his close friend Colin Halliday, who died after falling from the M62 in June. He said: "I had known Colin since school. We always went out together just like mates do; we went out drinking together. One day I think he just had enough. No one knows why. "Nobody can know the answer. I know people always say it, but he was the last person you'd think would do that. It came as a massive shock. I couldn't get over it for weeks. I couldn't bring myself to go to work for about three or four weeks." The two men hope to raise at least £10,000 for Sean's Place, a charity providing practical mental health support to men in Sefton experiencing poor mental health and isolation. The fundraiser has brought in more than £3,300 so far. Chris, 44, said: "I want to help raise money to pay for their services, but also get it in the public eye and let people know about it. I lived in Bootle all my life and I didn't really know it was there. Me and Craig actually went to St George's school (now King's Leadership Academy Hawthornes) behind Sean's Place, and Josh was buried in Bootle cemetery just two minutes away, and yet I had no idea it was there. Not many people do. "I think it should be more out there. I think mental health should be taught about in schools. Sean's Place do a youth intervention service now, which means teenagers can go and use their services. If you don't feel like talking to your partner or your family, you can just go in there. You don't have to speak. You can just listen, and the next week you might have the courage to open your mouth and speak about what you're going through. "Whether it's money related or you're having trouble with your partner, you don't have to tell your whole life story. It's just a problem shared is a problem halved, and I just wish Josh and Colin had realised that." Craig, 44, said: "Sean's Place supported Chris after he lost Josh, so it's like a way of giving back. They're amazing. I went there and walking around, you don't feel like you're there because you're struggling. You feel like you could just walk in anyway. It's like walking into a pub. They go fishing, they take people out, they do everything they can to help people. "Suicide just seems to be getting worse. I'm 44 and this year I think I know more people who have killed themselves than have died natural deaths. "The problems now that people think of and are scared of were never a thing when I was a kid. Prices are going up, there's the cost of living. There's a lot of people struggling. "And if you can't pay your bills you get someone knocking on your door to take your stuff. There's jobs built on other peoples misery. I'm just hoping by doing this, we can change something."

Five functional drinks to elevate your health this summer
Furthermore, the fact that match contains the calming amino acid L-theanine means it offers a gentler energy boost compared to coffee, minus any jitters or crash. That noted, although iced matcha lattes are lauded as a superfood, many of the matcha drinks you'll find on cafe menus are loaded with sweeteners, flavoured syrups, and creamy milks that can turn this health hero into more of a sugary treat, so it's worth keeping an eye on what's going into your coffee cup.
