Professional-grade insights into sleep science, performance recovery, and the botanical innovations behind our formulations.
Your wearable measures movement and heart rate, then infers everything else. Against lab polysomnography, trackers do well on sleep versus wake and total sleep time — but the deep sleep and REM numbers are estimates with real error bars. What the validation studies found, and how to read the morning screen.
Alcohol helps you fall asleep faster, then fragments the second half of the night: more awakenings, suppressed and rebounding REM sleep, and the classic 3 AM wakeup that lands right when your liver finishes clearing the drinks. The physiology behind the nightcap myth, and why the timing of your last drink matters more than food or water.
