How we produce content

Sleep is a health topic, so you deserve to know exactly how the words on this site get written. Here is the process, including where AI is involved and where a human is.

The short version

Every article is researched from named sources, drafted with AI assistance, checked by automated quality gates, and read and approved by a human before it is published. Nothing goes live automatically.

Step by step

1. Topic selection. We start from a fixed list of questions people actually ask about sleep, and we attach each one to a relevant tool (for example, the Sleep Cycle Calculator) so the article has a practical use, not just words.
2. Research. We gather material from reputable sources — the Sleep Foundation, the NHS, the CDC, and peer-reviewed literature indexed by the National Library of Medicine — and we keep the links.
3. Drafting with AI assistance. A language model produces a first draft from that research. The draft must attribute every scientific claim to a source and is not allowed to write in a fabricated first person or to make medical claims.
4. Automated checks. Before anyone reads it, software rejects drafts that make clinical claims, invent experience ("I tried this and it cured…"), cite a source that does not exist, contain placeholders, or copy the structure of a previous article.
5. Human review. A person reads the article, verifies that the claims match the cited sources, and approves it, sends it back, or discards it.
6. Publishing. Only approved articles are published, with the date shown and the sources listed at the bottom.

What we never do

• Give medical advice, diagnoses, dosages or treatment plans. See our Medical Disclaimer.
• Claim to have personally tested a product or method unless we actually did — and then we say so explicitly on that page.
• Publish a statistic or study we cannot link to.
• Hide affiliate relationships. If a link can earn us a commission, the page says so. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
• Use fake urgency, fake scarcity or fake reviews.

Who is responsible

Articles are published under the SnoozeMetrics Editorial byline. That byline is the site's editorial team, not an invented expert persona. The site is independently owned and operated; the person who approves every article is the site owner. Learn more on our About page.

Corrections

If you find an error, an outdated claim, or a source we should have cited, please tell us through the Contact page. Corrections are prioritized over new content, and material changes are reflected in the article's date.
