Proud to announce we are finalists for Apple Design Awards for Innovation this year. 🤩. Great design is essential for creating products that are both beautiful and functional, and we've worked for years to make it happen.

We're grateful to be helping people have better days — and to see that mission recognized at #WWDC25.

Sleep Debt 2.0 isn’t real. Sleep debt *is*. Keep yours low by getting enough quality sleep consistently—not by trying to “preload” it in advance.

April Fools 😉 You *can’t* bank sleep. Catching up on lost sleep can improve energy, mood, and a range of health outcomes — but your body doesn’t store up extra hours to offset future all-nighters.

Research shows a 10-minute brisk walk improves energy more than a sugary snack. And try not to panic. While a regular sleep schedule is important (and helps us feel and perform our best), we’ve got to cut ourselves some slack when it’s just not possible every night.

This helps us fall asleep faster and wake up less often, maximizing our time in bed. Use short-term energy boosts — drinking water, taking a cold shower, listening to music, and even a quick burst of physical activity can help.

Even a 10-minute nap can improve fatigue and cognitive performance (WFH makes this much easier!). Prioritize sleep hygiene (the behaviors that influence our sleep) — control what you can, like avoiding caffeine ~12 hours before bed or keeping bedroom temperature between 65-68°F.

👉 Tips for when you can’t keep a regular sleep schedule. Shift worker? New parent? Traveling for work? Here’s how to get the best sleep and energy:. Catch up on sleep when you can — short naps are better than sleeping in for hours on a Sunday.

Start dimming the lights about 90 minutes before bed. Eat meals, exercise, and socialize at regular times — and avoid large meals and vigorous exercise close to bedtime.

Get at least 10 minutes of natural light exposure soon after waking up to reset your circadian rhythm for the day. Make it 20 to 30 minutes if it’s overcast or through a window. Get light during the day — this makes us less sensitive to evening light.

👉 Tips for staying in circadian alignment to improve sleep, energy, and productivity:. Keep a regular sleep schedule — yes, even at the weekend. Keep schedule changes to less than an hour difference.

When we rapidly shift our schedules — from DST or different sleep-wake times — the SCN receives zeitgebers at odd times. All of the clocks are now running on a different time to the outside world, affecting our health, sleep, energy, + cognition, both at work + home.

The SCN receives signals from the outside world as cues to know what time it is. These cues are called zeitgebers and include: light (the most powerful one), food, exercise + socializing. Even temperature, hydration, and sex could act as zeitgebers.

These clocks are known as circadian rhythms. There’s one central clock in our brains — called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) — and peripheral clocks in almost every tissue and organ, including in the gut, liver, and immune system.

This is called social jet lag, and it can leave you feeling exhausted, struggling to fall asleep, and dealing with brain fog and trouble focusing. Why? It’s all down to the clocks in our bodies. That’s right, there’s more than one.

The clocks sprang forward this weekend in the US for daylight saving time. And while it was just an hour, that small shift can throw us off for weeks. But here’s the thing—many of us experience these “unofficial” clock changes all the time when we shift our sleep schedules. 🧵.
