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 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.

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.

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.

Fasting is not simply a wellness trend; it is a deeply conserved biological behaviour observed across mammalian species. Feeding and fasting cycles in mammals are governed by circadian rhythms, the internal timekeeping systems that align physiological functions with the 24-hour light-dark cycle.

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.
