The rules behind the wire, the Journal, and every word on this site.
The wire is curation
The Night Wire’s hourly cards are hand-picked headlines from credible outside sources. We summarize in our own words, name the source on every card, and link to the original reporting — we never republish it. Cards update through the day and roll off as they age.
The Journal is original — and accountable
Journal articles are drafted with help from our in-house AI desk, then edited and approved by a named human before anything publishes. Health-adjacent pieces are reviewed by Dr. Nancy Xu, Chief Health Officer. The publisher of record is Alex Baron, COO.
AI, disclosed
We use AI tools to research, draft, and proofread. Nothing publishes without human sign-off. Pieces produced primarily by the desk carry the byline “The Night Wire Desk” — we don’t invent human authors, ever.
Wellness, not medicine
We write about rest and wellbeing. We avoid disease and treatment claims, and nothing on this site is medical advice. Sleepm products support a rest ritual; they don’t diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. If sleep is a serious struggle, please talk to a clinician.
Sources we trust
Peer-reviewed journals, academic medical centers, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, public-health agencies, and established science media. We skip outlets with weak sourcing records, and we label preprints as preprints.
Corrections
We fix errors quickly and note the fix on the piece. Spotted one? Write to info@sleepm.com — we read everything.
Independence
Coverage is never paid for. If a piece involves our own products, we say so plainly.
No prices here
Sleepm travels hand to hand.
Every Sleepm is shared through the family — someone near you, in your language, who sleeps on it too. Financing is available.
