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.

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.

Hydration to Full-Circle Wellness: The Next Frontier in Air Travel

Hydration to Full-Circle Wellness: The Next Frontier in Air Travel

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.

HMN24 in Hospitality: The Operating System for Biologically Intelligent Wellness

HMN24 in Hospitality: The Operating System for Biologically Intelligent Wellness

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.

 

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.

Performance Hospitality: What Is Still Being Overlooked

Performance Hospitality: What Is Still Being Overlooked

The hospitality industry is in the midst of a significant evolution. Wellness is no longer a niche feature or optional add-on. It is becoming a central pillar of the guest experience.

We've Forgotten the First Principle of Health: Time

We've Forgotten the First Principle of Health: Time

In today’s world of supplements and biohacks, complexity is king.

We’re offered DNA tests to guide our diets, microbiome kits to interpret our gut, and 50-ingredient blends to "cover all bases."

But amidst the noise, we've lost sight of one of the most foundational elements of human health:

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

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

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.
