The overnight window is the most valuable eight hours nobody was designing for.
While you sleep, your body runs its most sophisticated repair programmes — skin permeability peaks, growth hormone surges, the brain flushes neurotoxic waste, collagen synthesises, and the immune system resets. These are not passive processes. They are timed, biological, and dependent on the quality of your sleep to run properly.
Yet the products most people use before bed -a melatonin gummy, a basic lip balm, a flat sleep mask were designed with almost no reference to this biology. They do one job badly, spike and fade, and leave the most productive hours of your body's repair cycle unsupported.
“We weren't interested in another shortcut. We were interested in what the body actually needs while it sleeps — and what it was capable of if you gave it the right conditions.”
Checked Out was built to close that gap. Starting with sleep — the foundation — and expanding from there. Every product we make is designed to be worn overnight, to do at least two things well, and to be worth the eight hours it earns.
Melatonin suppresses your own production
Oral supplements spike and fade
Next-morning grogginess is a design flaw
Most gummies contain 3–10× the effective dose
A 2023 study published in JAMA found that 88% of melatonin gummy products were inaccurately labelled — with actual doses ranging from 74% to 347% of what was stated on the pack. The effective dose for sleep onset is 0.3–0.5mg. Most products contain 3–10mg.

At the creative helm of Checked Out is Natasha Fisker — whose fast-paced life across cities, time zones, and boardrooms became the blueprint for the brand. With frequent travel, relentless calendars, and the constant negotiation between ambition and exhaustion, she experienced firsthand how fragile quality sleep can be in modern life.
“I wasn’t looking for a shortcut. I was looking for something that worked the way I approach everything else — clean, intentional, and built to last.”
Wellness has always been central to Natasha’s life. She prioritises clean eating, choosing whole foods and organic ingredients at every opportunity. Because of this, reaching for highly processed sleep aids — melatonin gummies that leave you groggy, traditional sleeping pills that create dependency — was never an option that felt aligned with how she approached her health.
Instead, she looked for something that met the same standard she applied to everything else: natural, effective, and genuinely supportive of long-term health. That search became the foundation of Checked Out — a collection of all-natural sleep products designed to support deeper rest without melatonin, pills, or ingredients that don't belong there.

Dr. Geeta Fisker
Dr. Geeta Fisker brings the scientific foundation behind Checked Out. With a Ph.D. in Biotechnology from the University of Cambridge and eight years co-founding and serving as CFO and COO of NYSE-listed Fisker Inc. — architecting its SPAC IPO — she understands what sustained high performance costs, and what it takes to rebuild after it.
"I travelled every other week across Europe for years. Melatonin was my solution for the nine-hour time difference. It worked until it didn't — and by then, the dependency had already been built."
After leaving Fisker Inc. in 2024, the cumulative toll of years of frequent European travel, chronic sleep disruption, and a melatonin dependency she hadn't noticed building made itself impossible to ignore. The burnout that arrived in the months that followed wasn't just fatigue — it was her body's reckoning with years of borrowed reserves.
The rebuilding process — grounded in her scientific training and the natural wellness traditions of her childhood in India — became the product philosophy of Checked Out. The Sleep Patch doesn't replace your body's melatonin. It delivers the cofactors your body needs to produce its own.
We started with sleep. The vision is overnight.
Your skin is most receptive while you sleep. We're designing for that window.
Every Checked Out product does at least two things. Always.
We will never sell you a dependency dressed up as a solution.
Made to a standard we’re proud to talk about.
Eight hours. Make every one count.
Sleep is where we started. The overnight window is where we're going. No shortcuts, no synthetic hormones, no products that do one thing when they could do two. This is what wellness looks like when it works while you're not watching.
