Social jet lag is the hidden disruptor of modern life. Mimicking the effects of travel across time zones, it erodes energy, focus, and recovery week after week. This post explains the science behind social jet lag, why it matters for health and performance, and how simple circadian strategies can help realign your body clock.

Alcohol is often seen as a sleep aid, but the science tells a different story. Even small amounts disrupt sleep cycles, impair recovery, and create a caffeine–alcohol cycle that erodes energy and wellbeing. This article explores the sedative illusion, the quantifiable decline in sleep quality, and how hospitality and wellness are redefining rituals of relaxation.

Hospitality has always been anchored by tradition, with coffee and alcohol at its core. But shifting generational demands are reshaping the landscape. Wellness-conscious consumers now seek balance, quality, and alternatives. The future belongs to operators who protect heritage while embracing innovation.

Circadian rhythms are more than sleep–wake cycles, they are the foundation of human performance. From morning focus to evening recovery, your body runs on rhythm. This post explores the science behind circadian alignment, the costs of disruption, and how high performers and organisations are using rhythm to unlock clarity, resilience, and recovery.

Poor office lighting is more than an inconvenience, it disrupts circadian rhythms, drives fatigue, and fuels reliance on caffeine and alcohol. This article explores the science behind lighting, mood, and performance, and how circadian-aligned design can restore balance in the workplace.

Optimising dopaminergic tone without succumbing to burnout is one of the pivotal challenges in contemporary performance and wellness. In today’s culture of quick fixes, excessive caffeine consumption, overstimulating activities, and “always on” behaviours often dominate strategies for focus and motivation.

Air travel exposes the human body to an environment unlike anything encountered on the ground. Cabins are engineered for safety and relative comfort, but the physiological stressors of altitude, including reduced oxygen availability, altered hormonal signalling, and extremely low humidity, create a perfect storm for dehydration. While jet lag and circadian disruption are often the focus of discussion, the physiological impact of altitude on hydration is a distinct challenge in its own right and demands targeted management.

Discover the science behind sleep temperature and mattress selection. Learn how airflow, materials, and new technologies influence thermoregulation, deep sleep, and recovery.

With British Airways recently announcing that it is listing a hydration solution as part of its short-haul offering, this signals a growing shift in how the travel industry is addressing the physiological challenges of flying.

Most people think poor sleep comes from the glass of wine they had before bed.

But the truth is, that glass is usually just the final act in a much longer story, one that started the moment your alarm went off.

HMN24 isn’t just a supplement brand. It’s a neuroscience-led system designed around three core principles: Circadian Modulation, Jet Lag Mitigation, and Arousal State Management. We’ve developed protocols trusted by elite athletes, special operations units, and high-performance travellers, and we’re now embedding them into the world’s leading hospitality environments.

Modern neuroscience confirms what ancient traditions have practised for millennia: the first few minutes after you wake up are biologically powerful.

Your brain doesn’t flick on like a light switch. It transitions, slowly and delicately, through a cascade of brainwave states.
