Wake Boom editorial team

Who we write for

We write for someone who sets an alarm on their phone and has to be at work, in class or on a shift in the morning. The examples, the times and the weekends are written for that life, not for a sleep lab.

How each article is written

Every article goes through three stages.

First, research. Before writing, we read what has already been published in English on the same topic and note what it covers and what it leaves out. For scientific claims we go to the original sources: the guidelines of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the National Institutes of Health, and research papers with a verifiable identifier. The source of every important claim is listed at the end of the article itself.

Second, writing. The draft is written with the help of AI tools and under a set of editorial rules of our own: about structure, accuracy, sources, and about the text reading like native English, not a translation. No text may invent experiences, figures or sources. Where we do not have a solid source, we say so.

Third, review. Every article is checked against those rules and against its sources before it is published. What we do not have today is a reviewer whose first language is English. So if a sentence reads translated or odd to you, it helps us a lot to hear it: every such phrase goes on a list so it does not come back in the next articles.

About our own app

When Wake Boom is a real answer to the problem in an article, we present it as one option among others and say which part is free and which is not. When the answer is not the app — a sleep disorder, for example — we say so plainly. No article is written to sell the app.

What these articles are not

Our articles do not replace a doctor. If you have signs such as pauses in breathing while you sleep, strong sleepiness during the day or chronic tiredness, see a professional. Where an article reaches those signs, it says exactly this.
