Editorial standards
Our editorial process
The five steps every article goes through before it reaches you.
01
We start with the research
Writers begin from primary sources — peer-reviewed studies, systematic reviews, and guidance from institutions like the NIH and major sleep bodies — not from other blogs.
02
We write in plain language
We explain the mechanism, then the takeaway. Technical terms are defined the first time they appear. If the evidence is uncertain, we say so.
03
We cite everything
Every health claim links to a source. You should never have to take our word for it.
04
An expert reviews it
Before publishing, a qualified reviewer checks each article for accuracy and safety. Articles carry a visible “medically reviewed by” line and date.
05
We keep it current
Sleep science moves. We revisit articles, update them when evidence changes, and show the last-updated date.
