Medical Disclaimer

Everything on this site is general information about sleep, not medical advice. Nothing here is meant to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, and reading an article isn't a substitute for talking to a real doctor who knows your specific situation.

Every claim is based on real, cited research, but sleep science is a big field, individual bodies vary, and new studies come out all the time. If something you read here doesn't match what your own doctor tells you, trust your doctor, they know your medical history and this website doesn't.

If you're dealing with persistent insomnia, suspect a sleep disorder like sleep apnea, or a sleep problem is seriously affecting your daily life, please see a doctor or a licensed sleep specialist. This site can help you understand the science, it can't replace a real diagnosis.

If you're in the US, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine keeps a directory of accredited sleep centers. If you're in the UK, the Sleep Apnoea Trust keeps a directory of NHS sleep clinics by region.
