About Us

Danielle Mathieu

Danielle Mathieu is a health writer and researcher currently completing a Master’s in Nursing. She also holds an MA in Psychology and brings over twenty years of experience working with healthcare organizations and public institutions. Alongside her work in health, she’s also a Coast Rescue Officer trained in emergency care. She is passionate about the outdoors and lives on the east coast of Scotland, where she enjoys working in remote communities and helping people make small changes that improve everyday wellbeing.

Her favorite sleep hack: get natural daylight every day and plenty of fresh air, as they help regulate your circadian rhythm and support better sleep.

Arianna Bradford

Arianna Bradford is a writer, author, and mother of two who takes her sleep very seriously. Growing up in a medical household, she learned early on the importance of feeling rested, and how a lack of sleep can affect overall health. She has a particular interest in the link between hormones and sleep.

Her favorite sleep tool is a calming, easy-to-follow bedtime routine, as it teaches your body to recognize when it’s time for bed.

Claire Fountain

Claire is a professional copywriter and reviewer with six years of experience testing and evaluating health and wellness products. As a chronic insomniac, she’s passionate about finding sleep solutions that actually work, whether that’s the coolest, softest sheets or the comfiest mattresses and bed-cooling systems.

Her favorite totally free sleep tip: set a “Sleep” routine on your phone to silence notifications during snooze time and leave your phone in the other room (or at least across the bedroom) so you won’t be tempted to check it. Bonus points because it also forces you to get up to turn your alarm off!

Crystal Schwanke

Crystal Schwanke is a freelance writer based in Atlanta, Georgia. For nearly twenty years, she’s covered sleep topics (among plenty of others) and reviewed products designed to help people get their best night’s rest. Beyond a mattress tailored to your sleep style and preferences, she believes the most magical combo for sleep is a lavender-scented pillow wrapped in a silky pillowcase. Bonus: satin and silk pillowcases can be great for your hair and skin, too!

Katie Barr

Katie Barr is a former teacher turned administrator and a busy mom who knows firsthand how life-changing good sleep can be. And how frustrating it is when you’re not getting it. Between early mornings, long days, and everything in between, she’s learned that quality rest isn’t just nice to have. It’s essential.

That’s what led Katie to dive into sleep research, test products firsthand, and share honest, practical recommendations (because everyone needs a bed refresh every now and then). She loves helping other busy people find simple changes that actually make a difference.

Her favorite sleep tip? Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and device-free. Even putting your phone across the room can make a noticeable difference in how quickly you fall asleep and how rested you feel in the morning.

Samantha Nel

Samantha Nel is a research-loving content writer who’s passionate about sleep and making science-backed insights feel practical in real life. With a background in psychology, history, and home design, she’s especially drawn to how our environment shapes our mood, routines, and energy.

She’s known for happily disappearing down the occasional rabbit hole if it means getting the story right. Her personal sleep hack? Designing her bedroom like it’s a cue for rest: soft lighting, minimal clutter, and a strict no late-night scrolling rule (difficult, she knows, but it changes everything).

Stephanie Wright

Stephanie Wright, RN, BSN, is a dedicated Registered Nurse with over 15 years of experience spanning critical care, mental health, and managed care. Currently pursuing her MSN in Public Health, Stephanie brings a holistic perspective to sleep wellness, blending evidence-based medical knowledge with a passion for helping others thrive.

Outside of her professional life, she enjoys hiking and experimenting with healthy recipes. Her top sleep tip is to create a calming bedtime routine: dim the lights, put away screens, and spend a few minutes journaling or meditating to help your mind and body unwind for restful sleep.

Trevor Jackson

Trevor Jackson is a licensed chiropractor with a Master’s degree in Sports Medicine and a bachelor’s in Human Biology. He chose chiropractic care as a way to help people take charge of their health naturally, with supportive alternatives that don’t always start at the pharmacy.

While his specialty is sports rehabilitation, his diverse patient base pulled him into an unexpected focus: sleep quality. From obstructive sleep apnea to chronic insomnia, Trevor has committed himself to understanding the conditions that steal restful nights, because sleep doesn’t discriminate. It affects everyone, from the stay-at-home parent squeezing in weekend workouts to the elite athlete chasing peak performance.

When he’s not treating patients or reviewing sleep solutions, Trevor is with his family, coaching soccer, or spending time at the beach. His best sleep hack? Keep a consistent wake-up time, even on weekends. Your body’s internal clock thrives on routine, and once it locks in, falling asleep starts to feel like the easy part.

Francis Walshe

Valeska is a writer and multi-passionate entrepreneur with over a decade of experience researching and testing products designed to improve everyday life. As a busy professional, she knows how quickly poor sleep can catch up with you and is passionate about helping readers achieve better rest.
