It was his passion for helping individuals suffering with chronic insomnia to begin the search for treatment options that did not include prescription sleep aids secondary to their negative long-term side effects. He has always practiced with the goal of helping patients wean and discontinue these sleep aids. Yet, after reading a clinical study in 2017 on the effects of montmorency tart cherry juice as a potential natural treatment for insomnia, he began his search to create an all natural sleep aid without melatonin after many of his patients in his own clinic demonstrated positive results using the tart cherry juice to improve their insomnia. It was then the genesis of Sip2Sleep® truly began. Before launching Sip2Sleep® in late 2022, many friends, family, and patients that were given samples to try the product for honest feedback and to Dr. Patel's own surprise but also skepticism, over 80% of individuals reported significant improvements in their sleep with more frequent dream recollection and waking less fatigued. As a result of this high percentage of individuals reporting benefit and his skepticism that the number could be so high he hired People Science to design and undertake a clinical trial to study the effects of Sip2Sleep® in random participants that had moderate to severe chronic insomnia. The results of the study supported the same anecdotal findings he had discovered — greater than 80% of participants in the clinical trial reported improvements in sleep quality, next day alertness, and reduction in next day anxiety when they took Sip2Sleep®. With Sip2Sleep®, Dr. Patel, aims to allow individuals with acute or chronic insomnia have the option to take an all natural sleep aid with only two natural ingredients that are clinically proven to improve quality of sleep, daytime alertness, and mood.
