The Temperature Effect: How Morning Warmth and Cold Shape Your Day

The Temperature Effect: How Morning Warmth and Cold Shape Your Day

Your body temperature follows a powerful circadian rhythm that determines how you wake, focus, and recover. In this article we explore the science behind morning warmth and cold exposure, revealing how these simple cues can transform alertness, mood, and daily performance.

The Vegas Effect, How an Entire City Hacks Human Biology, and How HMN24 Rebalances It

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.

The Science of Sound: How Biophilic Soundscapes Are Improving Health, Focus, and Recovery

The Science of Sound: How Biophilic Soundscapes Are Improving Health, Focus, and Recovery

Natural soundscapes, birdsong, ocean waves, forest ambience—are no longer just background relaxation. Research shows they reduce stress, improve focus, and support circadian health across healthcare, workplaces, hospitality, and personal recovery.

What We Need to Know About Biophilic Design

What We Need to Know About Biophilic Design

Biophilic design reconnects our built environments with nature. Research shows it reduces stress, boosts productivity, increases customer spending, and strengthens communities. This article explores the science, the economics, and why it’s becoming an essential growth strategy

Cold Water Immersion: Dosage, Sex Differences, and Practical Frameworks

Cold Water Immersion: Dosage, Sex Differences, and Practical Frameworks

Cold water immersion is one of the most effective tools for recovery and mental resilience, but only when dosed correctly. This article explores the science of time × temperature, how men and women differ in cold response, and how to apply progression plans that maximise benefits while minimising risks.

From Gatekeepers to Google: How Access to Science is Reshaping Health and Self-Care

From Gatekeepers to Google: How Access to Science is Reshaping Health and Self-Care

Science has moved from the lab to the living room, empowering individuals to take control of their health. But with this access comes risk: misinformation, misinterpretation, and science-washing. In this article, we explore how access to science is reshaping the balance between healthcare and self-care, and why the future depends on using it responsibly.

The Role of L-Theanine in RISE

The Role of L-Theanine in RISE

Caffeine boosts alertness, but it can overstimulate the nervous system when used alone. L-theanine provides balance, creating calm focus, regulating neurotransmitters, and protecting circadian stability. Here’s why this synergy makes RISE different.

Why Your Afternoon Coffee Is Breaking Your Sleep

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.

Nervous System Management: The Forgotten Foundation of Human Performance

Nervous System Management: The Forgotten Foundation of Human Performance

Performance is no longer about effort alone it’s about nervous system regulation. This piece explores the arousal continuum, neurodivergence, and science-backed protocols that expand the “window of tolerance,” helping us thrive in business, sport, and daily life.

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.

Television, Sleep, and Human Performance: What the Science Really Tells Us

Television, Sleep, and Human Performance: What the Science Really Tells Us

Television is part of many people’s nightly wind-down, but its impact on sleep is more complex than most realise. Screen type, brightness, content, and timing all influence whether TV helps you relax or disrupts your recovery. This article breaks down the science — and practical strategies for building healthier pre-sleep routines.

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.
