Reader questions
What readers usually want to know first.
What kind of sleep problems does this cover?
The everyday sort. Falling asleep, staying asleep, waking too early. Screens, noise, heat, naps, and shifting work hours. Not clinical disorders, which belong with a doctor.
I work rotating shifts. Is any of this for me?
Yes. Shift work and rotating rotas come up often. The advice deals with sleeping at odd hours and moving your body clock without wrecking it.
Do naps help or hurt?
It depends on when and how long. Some issues cover this directly. A short nap early in the day is different from a long one at five in the afternoon.
How do I stop the letter if I lose interest?
Every issue has a link that removes you in one click. It works straight away. There is nothing to explain and no reply to wait for.
Will you know whether I read it?
Opens and link clicks are counted. This is only so that addresses which never open stop being mailed. There is no point sending to someone who has moved on.
What happens to my address?
It is used to send you the letter, and nothing else. The list is never sold, rented, or traded. That does not change.
Does signing up here save my details somewhere?
The form on this site stores nothing. It does not build a profile or keep a record on this website. This site does not collect reader details.
Are there ads?
Some issues carry an offer from a third party. It is marked as an offer. The advertiser runs its own site, and what happens there is on them, not on this letter.
Does it cost anything?
No. It is free. There is no paid version, no account, and no password to keep.
