sleep news
If you've ever jolted awake at 3 a.m. for no apparent reason, a sleep expert says your hormones are likely the culprit — and it has everything to do with progesterone, cortisol, and a very specific chain of events happening in your body. Cooling bedding brand Breescape partnered with certified sleep coach Kelly Murray to break down exactly how hormonal shifts across the menstrual cycle, postpartum recovery, and perimenopause quietly disrupt women's sleep at every stage of life. There are five concrete strategies in here worth knowing about.
The bedtime tea ritual has become one of the fastest-growing wellness categories of 2026 — and the brands behind your favorite wind-down blends are getting serious about what's actually in the cup. A women-owned Hudson Valley tea manufacturer just expanded its facility specifically to meet demand for sleep and stress formulations, and their take on what separates a real bedtime tea from marketing fluff is worth reading. Chamomile is just the beginning.
Summer is low key one of the hardest seasons for sleep — longer days mean more light creeping into your bedroom long past the time you actually want to wind down. SelectBlinds is making that case in Times Square with a new campaign for their Room Darkening Collection, timed specifically to the shift into summer. Beyond better sleep, there's an energy efficiency angle here that's worth knowing about too.

travel + hospitality

tech + devices
Most of us wash our sheets regularly — but the mattress underneath? A different story entirely. FEPPO just launched a cordless vacuum built specifically for the surface where you spend a third of your life, using UV-C light, ultrasonic waves, and nearly 53,000 vibrations per minute to get at what your regular vacuum never reaches. Spring cleaning just got a whole lot more thorough.
Amid the chaos of one of the art world's biggest weeks, sleep wellness brand Loftie carved out something rare — a free, public space in Venice designed entirely around slowing down.

Black Girl Vitamins just launched a sleep supplement built around a reality that mainstream wellness brands rarely name out loud: research shows Black women face disproportionately higher rates of poor sleep quality, insomnia, and sleep apnea — and the cultural pressure to push through exhaustion makes it worse. Dream Girl Sleep is a melatonin-plus gummy formula designed specifically with that experience in mind. The ingredient list and the intention behind it are both worth reading.
Neuro just dropped its first-ever brand campaign, and it stars real sloths lazily chomping pink bubble gum in the jungle — and honestly, the metaphor lands. The functional gum brand (you know, the one that actually does something) is making a very loud case for why the gum aisle has been asleep for decades. The creative is worth seeing.
