Sleep Science & Hygiene covers rest in plain language — light, screens, timing, wind-down routines, and sleep-friendly environments. We publish general information and realistic habits without overpromising outcomes. We don't publish content that claims to "solve insomnia" or replaces clinical care. When research is referenced, we use reputable sources and explain limits and variability. If sleep problems persist, worsen, or feel medically significant, professional evaluation is the appropriate path.
