Daniel Wright

Daniel Wright has been researching sleep health and writing about practical sleep improvement for over 8 years. It started personal — years of lying awake at 3am, trying everything, reading every study he could find. Eventually things improved. And he started writing about what actually worked, and what didn't. CalmNightly is the site he wished had existed when he was in the middle of it. He's not a doctor. But he reads the research so you don't have to — and he writes about it like a human being, not a textbook.
