The Vegas Effect, How an Entire City Hacks Human Biology, and How HMN24 Rebalances It
Las Vegas isn’t powered by luck, it’s powered by biology.
This article explores how the city’s architecture, lighting, air systems, caffeine, alcohol, and reward design manipulate circadian rhythms and dopamine pathways to keep visitors awake, euphoric, and spending.
A fascinating look at how environmental science becomes behavioural control.
Why Your Afternoon Coffee Is Breaking Your Sleep
Caffeine fuels performance, but timing is everything. Afternoon caffeine disrupts circadian rhythm, narrows recovery, and traps you in the fatigue cycle. Here’s the science behind smarter stimulation.
Caffeine, Alcohol, and the Perpetual Cycle of Diminishing Output
Modern life runs on caffeine to wake and alcohol to unwind. But both disrupt deep sleep and REM, trapping us in a cycle of fatigue and diminished performance. This article explores the science, the cultural impact, and strategies to break the loop.
Alcohol and Sleep: Redefining Rituals of Relaxation in the Wellness Era
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.
