Travel Sleep Optimisation: How to Extend Home into the Hotel

Frequent travel doesn’t have to derail your sleep. By replicating familiar cues, temperature, scent, light, and routine—you can trick the nervous system into perceiving safety and calm, even in a hotel room. Our latest article explores the science behind travel sleep optimisation and offers practical steps for high performers to protect recovery on the move.

From Crisis to Catalyst: What COVID Taught Us About Flexible Work and Human Performance

From Crisis to Catalyst: What COVID Taught Us About Flexible Work and Human Performance

COVID forced the largest workplace experiment in history. The results were clear: flexible work improves productivity, reduces burnout, and supports wellbeing. The science was always there,  but disruption made it impossible to ignore.

The Future Modern Workplace

The Future Modern Workplace

The workplace has always reflected culture. Once powered by stimulants, long hours, and burnout, today it stands at a crossroads. The future modern workplace must balance activation and recovery, embedding self-care as performance care—to remain sustainable and relevant.

Caffeine, Alcohol, and the Perpetual Cycle of Diminishing Output

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.

Wellness is not an absolute.

Wellness is not an absolute.

Wellness is no longer about extremes. Legacy brands cling to outdated models, while purist brands risk alienation through rigidity. The future belongs to those who build inclusive ecosystems—spaces that support balance, connection, and culture.

Rethinking Meeting Rooms: From Space to Performance Tool

Rethinking Meeting Rooms: From Space to Performance Tool

Most meeting rooms weren’t designed for human biology. They were designed because “we need meeting rooms.” But in 2025, that’s not enough. Light, temperature, and circadian science now define whether a space supports or suppresses performance. Here’s why hospitality’s new frontier is building meeting rooms that truly perform.

Why In-Room Workouts Aren’t the Future of Wellness in Hospitality

Why In-Room Workouts Aren’t the Future of Wellness in Hospitality

In-room workouts may look like a convenient wellness solution, but science shows they fail both recovery and performance. Hotel rooms are designed for rest, not training, and this mismatch exposes a much bigger opportunity for hospitality.

Sleep Tourism: Why Rest Is Becoming the Real Luxury (and the Next Competitive Edge)

Sleep Tourism: Why Rest Is Becoming the Real Luxury (and the Next Competitive Edge)

Sleep tourism is transforming how we travel. No longer about indulgence or adventure alone, the new luxury is restoration. This article explores the science, industry shifts, and practical applications behind the rise of sleep-focused travel, and what it means for performance, hospitality, and everyday wellbeing.

Tradition, Transition, and the Future of Hospitality: Coffee, Alcohol, and the Rise of Wellness Demands

Tradition, Transition, and the Future of Hospitality: Coffee, Alcohol, and the Rise of Wellness Demands

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.

Why Circadian Rhythms Are the Foundation of Human Performance

Why Circadian Rhythms Are the Foundation of Human Performance

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.

Is Your Office Environment Driving You to Drugs and Alcohol?

Is Your Office Environment Driving You to Drugs and Alcohol?

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.

Hydration at Altitude: Understanding the Physiology and Managing It Effectively

Hydration at Altitude: Understanding the Physiology and Managing It Effectively

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.
