A Scientific Guide to Mattress Selection: Why Temperature Matters

A Scientific Guide to Mattress Selection: Why Temperature Matters

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

Why You Drink: It’s Often About What Happened Before the Glass, Not What’s In It

Why You Drink: It’s Often About What Happened Before the Glass, Not What’s In It

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.

The First 7 Minutes After Waking: Why They Matter More Than You Think

The First 7 Minutes After Waking: Why They Matter More Than You Think

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.

Understanding Fasting as a Biological Rhythm

Understanding Fasting as a Biological Rhythm

Fasting is not simply a wellness trend; it is a deeply conserved biological behaviour observed across mammalian species. Feeding and fasting cycles in mammals are governed by circadian rhythms, the internal timekeeping systems that align physiological functions with the 24-hour light-dark cycle.

The Temperature-Sleep Connection: A Foundational Regulator of Rest and Recovery

The Temperature-Sleep Connection: A Foundational Regulator of Rest and Recovery

The interplay between core body temperature, bedding, ambient environment, and emerging thermoregulation technology represents a foundational pillar of sleep health. By understanding and manipulating these variables, through smart material choices, proper environmental control, and tech-assisted precision, individuals can improve sleep onset, reduce fragmentation, and enhance the overall restorative value of sleep.

Returning to Rhythm: Why Adult Health Requires What We've Always Known About Infants

Returning to Rhythm: Why Adult Health Requires What We've Always Known About Infants

In health, as in early development, rhythm is not optional. It is foundational. From light exposure to nutrient timing, from wake cycles to sleep architecture, every major system in the body is governed by time, and when we ignore that clock, performance, mood, recovery, and resilience all suffer.

The Energy Category is Broken

The Energy Category is Broken

Scientific consensus began to shift. Sugar wasn’t just energy, it became a metabolic risk. Excess glucose intake was now linked to obesity, Type 2 diabetes, systemic inflammation, and chronic disease.

 

The Role of B Vitamins in Light Sensitivity and Circadian Regulation

The Role of B Vitamins in Light Sensitivity and Circadian Regulation

B vitamins, especially riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6), and methylcobalamin (B12), play a vital role in how our bodies process light and regulate internal rhythms. While they’re best known for supporting general metabolism, these vitamins also help align our biological clock, support the nervous system, and protect against the stress of disrupted sleep or travel.

Sleep Tourism: Why Your Hotel Stay Could Be the Key to Better Rest

Sleep Tourism: Why Your Hotel Stay Could Be the Key to Better Rest

The travel industry is evolving, and one of the most significant shifts we’re seeing isn’t just about the destinations – it’s about the experience of rest. Sleep tourism is emerging as a game-changer for those who recognise that sleep isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity for overall well-being.

Flow: The Secret Weapon for Peak Performance and Creativity

Flow: The Secret Weapon for Peak Performance and Creativity

In today’s workplace, achieving flow can seem impossible. Meetings, notifications, and digital noise constantly demand our attention. Yet, flow is not only achievable; it’s essential. By deliberately cultivating it, businesses can ignite creativity, fuel productivity, and create environments where employees thrive

The Impact of Social Connections on Workplace Happiness

The Impact of Social Connections on Workplace Happiness

The modern workplace is more connected than ever, yet many of us feel surprisingly isolated.

Research shows that strong workplace connections drive engagement, boost productivity, and improve well-being for both individuals and teams.

The Consequence of Daylight Savings

The Consequence of Daylight Savings

This weekend, we will experience another form of jet lag as we will be part of a seasonal clock change. On 27 October, the clocks will turn back by one hour at 2 a.m. as daylight saving time (DST) ends.
