New Sleep Science Reveals Why—and What You Can Do About It
Sleep has become a modern obsession—and for good reason. With everything from wellness podcasts to luxury sleep masks promising deeper rest, it’s clear we’re all on the hunt for better nights. But despite the booming sleep industry, many of us are still waking up groggy, restless, and far from refreshed. So what gives?
At SleepCreme, we’re constantly tuned in to what the latest research says about why sleep eludes us and what we can actually do about it. In the last six months alone, new findings have pointed to some surprising truths. Let’s break them down—and then we’ll show you how your nightly routine (and the right sleep support) can turn things around.
1. The Surprising Personality Link to Insomnia
A recent study by the University of São Paulo found that 61.7% of people with chronic insomnia share a common trait: high levels of neuroticism.
If your mind tends to spiral at night—rehashing conversations, worrying about tomorrow, or feeling emotionally raw—you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. You’re just human.
🌙 Tip: Try journaling before bed to release looping thoughts. Then, use an aromatherapy topical like SleepCreme 5K to physically soothe your body as your mind softens.
"It works! Having chronic pain due to an injury makes it hard to sleep. Now I'm falling asleep faster, and staying asleep. Thank you. — David G"
2. The Power of Morning Light (Yes, Morning)
We usually talk about nighttime routines—but what happens before you wake up matters just as much.
A study in Building and Environment found that exposure to natural light just before waking up significantly reduces morning fatigue. It helps reset your circadian rhythm and improves mood, energy, and focus.
🌙 Tip: Leave your curtains slightly open or use a wake-up light that mimics sunrise.
"I was very skeptical of this, but after the first night, all of that went away. I slept very peacefully and woke up refreshed. I highly recommend. — Kari F"
3. The Quiet Epidemic: Social Jet Lag
Ever sleep in on weekends—and still feel tired? That’s social jet lag, a condition caused by significant shifts in your sleep patterns. NASA research shows that this affects millions weekly—without anyone boarding a plane.
🌙 Tip: Keep bedtime and wake time consistent—even on weekends.
"The SleepCreme formula is perfect for a restful sleep. It relaxes you and then you are off to sleep land. Job well done SleepCreme! — William"
4. Midlife Wake-Ups Are Not Just About Hormones
Sleep disruptions between ages 40–68 aren't just about hormones. New science shows that core body temperature, chronic stress, and inflammation all play a part.
🌙 Tip: If you wake up hot or sweaty, try adjusting your thermostat and bedding.
"It works! Having chronic pain due to an injury makes it hard to sleep. Now I'm falling asleep faster, and staying asleep. Thank you. — David G"
5. Sleep Hygiene Is Getting a Makeover
Experts now recommend personalized, sensory-rich rituals that support your nervous system and signal your body that it’s safe to rest.
🌙 Tip: Turn off blue light, light a candle, play ambient music, and massage in your SleepCreme of choice.
