Editorial policy
We write about skills for sleep, calm and performing so that you can use the text right now — and check every claim.
What we publish
Answer-style articles for specific questions (“what to do right now”), free tools, and the Research section — research news and classic experiments with an honest ending.
Pages follow one pattern: what to do now → what not to do → what comes after → when to see a professional. We do not mass-produce near-identical pages for search queries.
Sources
- Priority: systematic reviews and meta-analyses, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and clinical guidelines (NICE, AASM, WHO).
- Numbers come only from the abstract or an open-access full text. Every study is looked up in PubMed or Crossref and linked by its DOI.
- Blogs, press releases and abstracts without a full paper are not sources for claims.
- A source we have not checked yet is labelled “link still being checked”. None should remain when a page is published; if one does, it carries that label.
How we use AI
Honestly: drafts of articles, tool texts and translations are written by the language model Claude (Anthropic). Before a page is published we check every number and link against the original source. A professional reviewer checks content and safety — that step is in progress, and each page shows its review status. A native speaker edits the translation before a language is offered to search engines.
A page that has not passed our editorial checks stays a draft: it carries a Draft banner, is not indexed and is not in the sitemap. AI does not write in a professional's name, and we do not generate content in bulk: the pace is limited by how much we can check.
Strength of evidence
Every exercise and every Research post carries a label: Strong evidence, Moderate evidence, Early evidence or Practice-based. The label refers to the main claim, not to the whole field. When in doubt, we choose the lower one. Details on the Evidence page.
Medical limits
- We teach self-help skills. We do not diagnose, treat or promise that anything goes away for good.
- We do not write about medication, doses, supplements, devices or brain stimulation.
- We do not offer exercises for self-harm, eating problems, psychosis, bipolar conditions or trauma. Where a page comes close to these, it carries a “Who should be careful” warning and crisis lines.
Warnings and review status
Every article, tool and research post carries a “Who should be careful” box: who should take extra care, or ask a doctor first, with a link for each item to the safety page. Each page also shows a review status line. We do not say a clinician reviewed a page unless one did.
Updates and corrections
- We change the “Updated” date only when the content changes, not to look fresh.
- Factual errors are corrected, marked on the page as “Corrected [date]” and logged in the change log.
- If a conclusion changes, we check the material again (together with the reviewer, once a page has one).
- When a reviewer signs a page, we update it to show their name, qualification, date and version.
- Found a mistake? Write to us (see Contact) — we reply and decide within 7 days.
Independence
We take no payment, grants or “access” from study authors, publishers or makers of products we write about. There are no ads. When we write about a product similar to ours, we say so in one line. Results that go “against us” are published just as readily as results “for us”.
Languages
The Ukrainian version is not a literal translation but a text for Ukrainian readers: their own examples, the same facts and numbers. It stays out of search engines until a native speaker has reviewed it.
