Sleep & Recovery
The health intervention you already do every night
Sleep is the most powerful health intervention available, and the one most people get wrong. Research on sleep tracking, circadian rhythms, sleep disorders, and practical techniques for better rest.
Why It Matters
Chronic sleep deprivation is linked to nearly every chronic disease — heart disease, diabetes, dementia, depression, cancer. Yet we treat sleep as optional or a weakness. The research of the past decade has dramatically changed what we know about sleep, from the glymphatic system clearing waste from the brain to the role of deep sleep in memory consolidation. And the tools to measure and improve sleep are now accessible to anyone.
Questions I'm Exploring
"Do sleep trackers actually help or do they cause 'orthosomnia'?"
"When should you get tested for sleep apnea?"
"What can you actually do about insomnia without drugs?"
"Is the 8-hour rule a real thing or a myth?"
