Travel Sleep Optimisation: How to Extend Home into the Hotel

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 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.

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.

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.

Hydration & Electrolytes: The Overlooked Jet Lag Tool

Hydration & Electrolytes: The Overlooked Jet Lag Tool

Jet lag is often seen as a sleep problem. But hydration and electrolyte balance play a fundamental role in circadian alignment, recovery, and adaptation to new time zones. This article explores the science and shares practical hydration protocols for travel.

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.

Rethinking Sleep Timing: Unlocking Human Performance Through When, Not Just How Much

Rethinking Sleep Timing: Unlocking Human Performance Through When, Not Just How Much

Sleep isn’t just about duration. Emerging research shows that earlier, consistent sleep timing is critical for next-day energy, movement, and focus. In this article, Phil Learney explores the science of circadian alignment, its impact on performance, and what it means for athletes, professionals, and everyday health.

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.
