Your body runs on ancient hardware. The modern world is breaking your sleep.

For thousands of years, the sun told us when to sleep. Screens, city noise and non-stop stress are new, and your body hasn't caught up.

How we used to sleep

For most of human history, the sun set your bedtime.

No screens. No sirens. No inbox. Your body clock, your senses and your stress response were all built for that world. They still are.

The sun setting over the sea
  1. Darkness meant sleep.The light bulb is less than 150 years old. Before it, nights were lit by fire and the moon. When researchers took people camping with only natural light for a week, their sleep hormone rose about two hours earlier, in step with sunset.
  2. Quiet meant safe.A sudden sound in the night meant a threat. Your brain learned to keep listening while you slept, and to wake you if something changed.
  3. Stress came and went.Danger was short: a threat, a burst of stress hormones, then calm. By nightfall, your body was ready to rest.

Then, in a blink of evolutionary time, we changed all three.

Problem 1 · Light

Screens are telling your ancient brain it's still daytime.

  1. Light is your body clock's main signal.Blue and green light after dark holds back melatonin, the hormone that tells your body it's time to sleep.
  2. Your evenings are full of it.In a Harvard sleep lab study, reading on an iPad before bed delayed melatonin and meant taking about 10 minutes longer to fall asleep than reading a printed book.
  3. You pay for it the next day.The same people were less alert the next morning, even after a full eight hours in bed.

You don't have to throw your phone away. You have to bring back sunset.

Fix 1 · Blue blockers

Bring back sunset. Keep your screens.

Put them on 1–2 hours before bed. Your eyes see a warm, firelit evening, and your body clock gets the dark signal it's been waiting for.

Putting on 8Hours blue blocking glasses
  1. Filters 99%+ of blue and green light.The wavelengths (roughly 400–550nm) that hold back melatonin.
  2. Carry on as normal.Scroll, work, watch TV. The frames fit over prescription glasses.
  3. About 30 minutes more sleep.In a Columbia University study, people with insomnia who wore amber lenses for two hours before bed slept about half an hour longer a night.

Problem 2 · Noise

To your ancient brain, every siren is a threat.

Traffic, sirens, neighbours, a door slamming at 2am. Your brain still treats a sudden sound as possible danger, even while you sleep.

Someone asleep in a city bedroom with emergency lights on the ceiling
  1. Your brain never stops listening.It keeps checking sounds all night. It's why you wake to your own name, or your baby, but not the hum of the fridge.
  2. Noise breaks up deep sleep, even if you don't wake.In sleep lab studies, traffic and aircraft noise raised people's heart rate and pulled them out of deep sleep, often without them remembering it.
  3. Most cities are never quiet.In Europe, around one in five people live with road traffic noise at levels the EU considers harmful to health.

You can't silence the city. You can stop it reaching your brain.

Fix 2 · Earplugs

Tell your brain the coast is clear.

Put them in at lights out. The sudden noises that set off your inner alarm fade into the background, so you stay in deep sleep.

8hours Sleep Nose Strip worn with 8hours Deep Sleep Earplugs before bed
  1. Rated SNR 23.A noise-reduction rating of 23 decibels, tested to EN 352-2, the European standard for earplugs.
  2. Soft silicone, four sizes.XS to L tips, so they sit comfortably even if you sleep on your side.
  3. One reusable pair, with a carry case.For home, hotels and flights.

Free in the Black Friday bundle.

Problem 3 · Stress

Your stress doesn't clock off. Neither does your cortisol.

Cortisol, your main stress hormone, is meant to be at its lowest when you go to bed. Our ancestors' stress was short. Ours runs from the first email to the last scroll.

3:07 on a bedside clock while a man lies awake in the dark
  1. Cortisol should fall at night.It rises before dawn to wake you up, then drops through the day so you can sleep.
  2. When it stays high, sleep gets lighter.Studies of people with insomnia have found higher cortisol in the evening and first half of the night than in good sleepers.
  3. That's the 'tired but wired' feeling.Exhausted at 9pm, wide awake at 11, and up again at 3am.

Your mind needs help switching off, every night.

Fix 3 · Sleep & Recovery

Help your mind switch off at night.

Two capsules, 30–45 minutes before bed. Six natural ingredients, chosen to help you wind down and sleep deeper, without melatonin or sedatives.

Taking two Sleep & Recovery capsules from the jar in bed
  1. Magnesium bisglycinate.Contributes to normal psychological function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
  2. L-theanine and apigenin.Found in tea and chamomile, the drinks people have reached for at bedtime for centuries.
  3. Plus myo-inositol and tart cherry.No melatonin, no grogginess. Triple lab tested and made in the Netherlands.

The heart of the bundle.
