The Science of Sleeping Better, Tonight

Sleep advice is mostly noise. Three interventions have real evidence: pressure, light, and temperature.
Deep pressure stimulation — the mechanism behind weighted blankets — has been shown to increase serotonin and reduce cortisol. The rule of thumb is 10% of your body weight; our Cloud blanket comes in three weights for exactly that reason.
Light is the second lever. Blue-spectrum light after sunset delays melatonin by up to 90 minutes. Swap overhead lights for warm ambient sources in the evening — then let a diffuser handle the wind-down cue. Scent is a powerful sleep anchor because the olfactory bulb wires directly into the limbic system.
Temperature is the simplest: 18–19°C is the clinically optimal range. Breathable bamboo fabrics help you stay there without waking. None of this is exotic — it's three small changes that compound every single night.
