You wake and can’t move, caught between dreaming and waking. This piece explores what happens when sleep’s timing slips, how fear becomes biology, and what this fragile border reveals about the rhythms that keep both worlds in sync.

Your wearable might show a good score, yet you wake up feeling like the night didn’t quite restore you. This piece spotlights the grey zone of sleep and explains why early recognition matters long before a diagnosis.

From Innovation Week Prague, Marc and Lucia reflect on turning data into early action—prioritizing healthspan, deep-sleep restoration, human connection, and startup resilience.

Every night your wearable turns complex rhythms into neat numbers — “deep sleep minutes,” “REM cycles,” “sleep score.” But those labels rest on a decades-old system that flattens the richness of your night. Yet, if sleep is so personal, why do we all get scored the same way?

REM sleep isn’t just for dreams — it’s where the brain reshapes our deepest emotional memories. At the World Sleep Congress 2025, leading scientists (including our own Dr. Lucia Talamini) reveal how REM works across cells, circuits, and behavior — and how it can even be guided in real time.

Sleep inertia is more than just grogginess—it’s the result of a disrupted or incomplete transition into wakefulness. Recent findings reveal that a burst of slow-wave activity may act as the brain’s internal launch code, coordinating a smoother re-entry into consciousness. With adaptive technologies like neurostimulation, we’re now closer than ever to guiding this process.

You wake up feeling exhausted despite a glowing sleep tracker report—why does your sleep sometimes feel off, even when the data says otherwise? This article uncovers the surprising science behind the gap between how we think we sleep and what’s really happening, and offers practical steps to bridge that disconnect for better rest.

This article highlights exciting early results suggesting that gentle sound cues during REM sleep can soften the emotional impact of memories without changing the memories themselves. It’s a promising step toward using sleep to help manage emotions in a whole new way.

The story of how our collaboration with LiveUP Media helped us rethink how we tell our story. It clarified our message and raised the bar for all future content.

Entrepreneur Michiel Verstraten took part in our latest sleep study using wearable EEG and neurostimulation, conducted at the University of Amsterdam. Early results show the technology can enhance deep sleep even in healthy sleepers.

As AI continues to reshape healthcare, Deep Sleep Technologies offers a bold alternative—using real-time brainwave prediction to actively support deep sleep, not just analyze it. Discover how our neuroscience-first approach combines the best of AI and brain-responsive tech to deliver true, personalized impact.
