A Scientific Guide to Mattress Selection: Why Temperature Matters

A Scientific Guide to Mattress Selection: Why Temperature Matters

Discover the science behind sleep temperature and mattress selection. Learn how airflow, materials, and new technologies influence thermoregulation, deep sleep, and recovery.

Why You Drink: It’s Often About What Happened Before the Glass, Not What’s In It

Why You Drink: It’s Often About What Happened Before the Glass, Not What’s In It

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.

HMN24 in Hospitality: The Operating System for Biologically Intelligent Wellness

HMN24 in Hospitality: The Operating System for Biologically Intelligent Wellness

HMN24 isn’t just a supplement brand. It’s a neuroscience-led system designed around three core principles: Circadian Modulation, Jet Lag Mitigation, and Arousal State Management. We’ve developed protocols trusted by elite athletes, special operations units, and high-performance travellers, and we’re now embedding them into the world’s leading hospitality environments.

 

The First 7 Minutes After Waking: Why They Matter More Than You Think

The First 7 Minutes After Waking: Why They Matter More Than You Think

Modern neuroscience confirms what ancient traditions have practised for millennia: the first few minutes after you wake up are biologically powerful.

Your brain doesn’t flick on like a light switch. It transitions, slowly and delicately, through a cascade of brainwave states.

We've Forgotten the First Principle of Health: Time

We've Forgotten the First Principle of Health: Time

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 Temperature-Sleep Connection: A Foundational Regulator of Rest and Recovery

The Temperature-Sleep Connection: A Foundational Regulator of Rest and Recovery

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.

Returning to Rhythm: Why Adult Health Requires What We've Always Known About Infants

Returning to Rhythm: Why Adult Health Requires What We've Always Known About Infants

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.

The Energy Category is Broken

The Energy Category is Broken

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.

 

The Role of B Vitamins in Light Sensitivity and Circadian Regulation

The Role of B Vitamins in Light Sensitivity and Circadian Regulation

B vitamins, especially riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6), and methylcobalamin (B12), play a vital role in how our bodies process light and regulate internal rhythms. While they’re best known for supporting general metabolism, these vitamins also help align our biological clock, support the nervous system, and protect against the stress of disrupted sleep or travel.

Neuroplasticity and Sleep: How Rest Supports Learning and Growth

Neuroplasticity and Sleep: How Rest Supports Learning and Growth

The concept of neuroplasticity—our brain’s capacity to reorganise and form new neural connections—has transformed our understanding of learning and growth.
The Consequence of Daylight Savings

The Consequence of Daylight Savings

This weekend, we will experience another form of jet lag as we will be part of a seasonal clock change. On 27 October, the clocks will turn back by one hour at 2 a.m. as daylight saving time (DST) ends. 
Chronological Anxiety

Chronological Anxiety

 

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.
