A note on research integrity
Every cited study on this site is linked back to its primary source on PubMed, the journal site, or its DOI. We treat peer-reviewed currency as part of the credibility claim — sources older than 5 years appear only as foundational anchors when they remain the canonical reference still cited in current reviews. Sleep tools coverage is research-aggregated rather than first-hand reviewed; that is disclosed on each tool page.
