Issue No. 005: One Number, Two Rooms
Two rooms one degree apart on the heat index, and half as much sweat again in one of them. Plus the strength case for ashwagandha, three trials deep.

The Future Wellness Briefing
One claim tested properly a week, what to do about it, and a position that goes on the Register and stays there.
The Future Wellness BriefingOne measured read a week. Free, and every position lands on the Register.
Numbering begins at 001 with the first email issue. Each issue is dated, numbered and immutable once published, and a correction appears as a dated note rather than a silent edit. The twenty-eight LinkedIn editions that preceded the Briefing migrate into Articles, where they can be revised and kept current.
Issue No. 004: Right on Average
One wearable is wrong in a way you can correct for. The other is right on average and tells you nothing about the wearer. Plus the first sham-controlled cooling topper.
Issue No. 003: Passive Control
Sixteen trials, ten recovery modalities, and nothing beat lying down. Plus the sham arm that out-ranked the machines.
Issue No. 002: Resting State
A readiness score is not a measure of the nervous system, and the guidelines now say so in print. Plus a wrist that reads movement and calls it sleep.
Issue No. 001: Room Temperature
Sleep is a thermoregulatory event before it is anything else. Why the 18 degrees figure is a floor rather than a specification, and what the mattress does after the thermostat stops.
Also available as RSS. The Register ships with this first issue and is linked from the email.
A claim without a parameter, a threshold, a unit and an instrument is not a claim. It is a preference with a citation attached.

Every position lands on the Register
No brand is named in a negative finding, and where no trial exists we say never been tested rather than dressing up an absence as caution.
