Our editorial standards

Use the right kind of evidence

For medical and practical sleep guidance, we prioritize clinical guidelines, public-health agencies, and peer-reviewed research. We identify studies as observational, experimental, or a review when that distinction changes the interpretation. A finding in one group does not automatically apply to every adult.

Historical claims rely on identifiable historical records or scholarship. Personal stories come from attributable published accounts. We do not present invented readers, composite patients, or an imagined personal experience as a real anecdote.

Keep four kinds of claim distinct

• Established guidance: recommendations supported by relevant professional or public-health sources.
• Research findings: results described with their population, study design, and important limits.
• Practical suggestions: modest ways to apply a question to everyday life; not guaranteed treatment protocols.
• Personal and historical accounts: experiences that help frame a question, not proof that a remedy works.

Write for the reader’s decision

We favor explanations that identify a next step and its boundaries. We avoid universal promises, fear-based claims, and recommendations that depend on buying a product without a clear reason. An article may recommend clinical assessment when an ordinary comfort experiment is not a sufficient answer.

These pages are written for adults. They do not provide infant safe-sleep guidance, individual diagnoses, or personalized treatment plans. They are not labeled as individually medically reviewed.

Sources and accuracy

Substantial guides include numbered source links and a reading list. Source dates describe the underlying publication; they do not imply a clinical review date for our article. The source library provides another route to the material.

A source citation is not an endorsement by its author or institution. Research changes, and an article should be read alongside current professional advice when a health decision is involved.

Corrections

Send the page address, the passage in question, and a supporting source to contact@goodrightsleep.com. Specific reports help identify whether an error concerns a fact, interpretation, attribution, or a broken link. We check reported errors against the cited material. When a correction changes a health recommendation or the interpretation of a study, we add a note to the affected article explaining the change.

Commercial relationships

The current site contains no product checkout, sponsored articles, or affiliate product links. Any future advertising or sponsorship will be labeled. Paid placement will not determine the conclusions of our guides. Advertising does not establish that a health claim is valid.

Images and identity

Bedroom imagery illustrates the publication’s subject; it is not evidence of a clinical result or a record of the people described in an article. Historical and personal accounts are supported by their cited texts. Good Right Sleep is published by Kerr Media LLC.
