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 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.

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.

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.

Red Bull’s functional origin (jet lag) was lost in translation as it became a lifestyle product.

The mechanism, high caffeine, sugar, and B vitamins, delivered a short-term boost, not long-term physiological alignment.

In truth, it didn’t solve jet lag; it merely masked its effects.

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.

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 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.

There are a lot of things we do in a day that are anxiety inducing and if we're to achieve balance with our nervous systems, minimise stress and improve our sleep there are a multitude of things we need to address differently.

What's your biggest problem as a high performer?

The answer we most commonly hear is sleep.

Always disregarded, always compromised, rarely considered.

What are you doing to manage your sleep-wake cycle?

In a recent Podcast, HMN24 Co-Founder Phil Learney was asked about the implications of sleep-wake disruption on professional footballers and what an adjusted schedule may look like and how HMN24 products would be integrated into it.
