1. The facets of sleep

Good sleep is valuable and one of the most important prerequisites for our health and daily well-being. However, we all know that it's not always easy to get enough, truly restful sleep – after all, the "sleep" stage is sensitive and dependent on numerous internal and external influences. Our individual physical and mental state, our sleeping environment, and our sleep routines all play a crucial role in ensuring we stay healthy in everyday life and optimally regenerate during sleep. Due to the multitude of influences, however, it can be difficult to figure out exactly what we can do to ensure truly restful nights and a rested start to the day.

2. Our expert for sleep & regeneration – Dr. Markus Dworak

Markus is our expert in the areas of sleep regulation, metabolism, and nutrients. Find out why the topic of sleep has become so close to his heart and why he founded this expert panel in the first place.

Markus, sleep plays a very special role in your life. Why?

I have always been interested in the question of why every living being must spend a large part of its life sleeping – a state in which one is completely at the mercy of the external environment and which, at first glance, appears as if one is doing nothing. However, if one takes a closer look at sleep, one realizes the important role it plays in our health and well-being and how many processes, z.B. our eating habits, and our sleeping habits are influenced by them. This really fascinates me and was the driving force for me to spend years working on this topic and, based on the knowledge gained, to create the brand smartsleep under which we continuously develop high-quality and effective products for better sleep for young and old.

What are your sleep areas of expertise?

In my academic career, I've studied how our sleep is regulated and why we need to sleep in the first place. I've also been very interested in the effects of exercise, media, and dietary habits on sleep, and I've conducted several studies on this topic. Our study on media consumption and sleep even made it into the New York Times.

Why is the panel of experts important to you?

Progress and the emergence of new findings are advancing rapidly. This allows us to be more informed in the important areas of health, sleep, sports, fitness, aging, etc.To continue generating high-quality, scientifically sound content and products, we need expertise in many specialist areas. This is precisely why we have established our expert panel, in which high-ranking scientific experts can share the latest trends and findings with us.
