About NourishDAO — Built by a Data-Obsessed Bad Sleeper
For most of my adult life, I thought waking up tired was just “who I was.”
I’d tried everything the internet suggested — melatonin, blackout curtains, cutting caffeine after noon. Some of it helped a little. None of it actually fixed anything. I was still waking up at 3AM, still dragging through afternoons, still performing at maybe 70% of what I knew I was capable of.
Everything changed when I started tracking.
The moment I saw my actual sleep data — my HRV crashing every night I had a late dinner, my deep sleep dropping to under 30 minutes when my bedroom hit 68°F instead of 65°F — I stopped guessing and started experimenting.
That’s what NourishDAO is built on.
Not “sleep hygiene tips.” Not recycled advice from articles written by people who’ve never worn a sleep tracker. Real protocols, built from real data, tested on a real human body that was once a complete mess.
