A NEWSLETTER FROM VICTORIA DHAR

The Sleep Lab

Evidence-based sleep science, twice a month, from a neuroscientist's desk.

No fluff. No supplement plugs. No "10 ways to sleep better" listicles. Just one focused sleep topic per issue — explored properly, written so you can actually use it tonight.

What's inside every issue

  1. One topic, explored properly. Not a roundup. Each newsletter takes one piece of sleep science — a study, a misunderstood concept, a habit that's wrecking your rest — and explains it in 4 minutes of reading.

  2. Research you won't find on social. I read sleep research for a living. The most interesting stuff doesn't fit in a 30-second reel. It lives here.

  3. First access to book updates. Pre-order links, sample chapters, behind-the-scenes from Take Back Your Sleep — newsletter subscribers get everything before social does.

5 sleep myths the wellness industry got embarrassingly wrong

A one-page primer from a neuroscientist who reads sleep research for a living. Five claims you've probably heard a hundred times — and what the actual evidence says instead. Yours when you subscribe.

A SAMPLE

Issue #1 — Your 90-minute sleep cycles, and why waking up 30 minutes earlier might actually help

"Waking up mid-cycle — usually mid-deep-sleep — is what produces that drugged, foggy, 'I-could-die-right-now' feeling. Wake up at the end of a cycle and you'll feel relatively clear, even on less sleep."
