This week, we’re excited to announce the launch of Arcashift, our new and improved mobile app for shift workers to sleep and feel better.

The way you think about sleep is wrong
“I didn’t get nearly enough sleep last night.” “I need to get to bed sooner.” “I just can’t wake up in the morning, and I’m not a morning person.” We often think of sleep as a debt to be paid to some mysterious collector. Sleep evades us when we most want it and won’t let […]
The health benefits of darkness

Light at some times speeds up your clock and helps you fall asleep faster, while light at other times can slow down […]

In fact, circadian rhythms govern almost every process our body carries out over the day, including metabolism, immune response, DNA repair, and physical performance. One topic that’s been getting a lot of buzz […]
