Social jet lag is the hidden disruptor of modern life. Mimicking the effects of travel across time zones, it erodes energy, focus, and recovery week after week. This post explains the science behind social jet lag, why it matters for health and performance, and how simple circadian strategies can help realign your body clock.

Alcohol is often seen as a sleep aid, but the science tells a different story. Even small amounts disrupt sleep cycles, impair recovery, and create a caffeine–alcohol cycle that erodes energy and wellbeing. This article explores the sedative illusion, the quantifiable decline in sleep quality, and how hospitality and wellness are redefining rituals of relaxation.

Hospitality has always been anchored by tradition, with coffee and alcohol at its core. But shifting generational demands are reshaping the landscape. Wellness-conscious consumers now seek balance, quality, and alternatives. The future belongs to operators who protect heritage while embracing innovation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
