Ignite the Sleep Wellness Revolution
Help people recharge their health through better sleep.

Across cultures and centuries, sleep has been celebrated as the foundation of well-being. Shakespeare called it “the most nourishing main course in life’s feast.” Nobel laureate Ivan Pavlov described it as the nervous system’s natural tranquilizer. Even the legendary Taoist Chen Tuan believed true mastery began with mastering sleep.

Sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s the key to health.

Dr. Eyad Almasri, MD

Professor of Clinical Medicine
University of California San Francisco, UCSF

Sleep and Cardiovascular Health

Poor or disrupted sleep increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and mental health problems. Early treatment of sleep disorders and healthy sleep habits can reduce these risks.

 

Optimal Sleep Duration
According to Dr. Eyad, 7 hours of sleep is linked to the highest life expectancy. Sleeping less or more than this is associated with shorter life expectancy.

Dr. Julius Goh Liang Chye

Otorhinolaryngologist / ENT surgeon and Sleep Clinician

How Disrupted Sleep Drives Obesity & Diabetes

Disrupted sleep—especially from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—drives obesity and diabetes by increasing oxidative stress, cortisol, and inflammation, while disrupting appetite hormones that raise hunger and reduce satiety. This creates a vicious cycle where poor sleep promotes weight gain and insulin resistance, and obesity further worsens sleep quality.

Dr. Joshua Roland

MD, FAASM

Medical Director, Sanusom

Snoring, Sleep Disordered Breathing and Cardiovascular Health

Snoring, often considered harmless or merely disruptive, is actually an audible vibration of tissues in the upper airway, occurring when airflow is restricted during sleep. However, it serves as a sign that breathing may be compromised during sleep, potentially indicating a more serious underlying issue. Snoring has been linked to various health concerns, including cardiovascular disease, and is associated with symptoms such as daytime tiredness, morning headaches, accidents, hypertension, and ischemic heart disease.

Dr. Ng Teck Siang

(PJK MD, MS ORL-HNS)

Consultant ENT & Head Surgeon/ Consultant Rhinologist

Ways to Reduce Snoring

Sleep disorders disrupt normal sleep, with snoring being the most common. Severe snoring may require medical treatment such as CPAP therapy or surgery. Other effective measures include sleeping on your side, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight, avoiding alcohol and sedatives, and developing good sleep habits. Patients may also reduce snoring through tongue and oropharyngeal exercises, which help strengthen the muscles of the mouth and throat.

Dr. Ariel B. Neikrug, PhD

Health clinical psychologist and sleep medicine specialist from the United States

The Relationship Between Sleep, Anti-Aging, and Disease Prevention

 

Sleep is essential to both physical and mental health. It drives recovery, supports memory and learning, balances hormones, and strengthens immune function. Research shows that around 7.5 hours of quality sleep is more effective than late-night studying, while also reducing inflammation and enhancing the body’s ability to prevent disease and slow aging.

Dr. Liu Gen-Liang

Chairman of the 7th New Taipei City Clinical Psychologist Association

Is Snoring a Sign of Good Sleep?
Is Snoring a Disease?
Debunking 5 Myths About Snoring

Five Common Myths About Snoring

Myth 1: Snoring = Good Sleep?
False. Snoring is caused by a narrowed or blocked airway and does not mean you’re sleeping well. Long-term snoring may be linked to sleep apnea and higher health risks.

Myth 2: Is Snoring a Disease?
Not exactly, but it’s a warning sign. Snoring suggests airway obstruction and can affect sleep quality and long-term health if ignored.

Myth 3: Do Only Overweight People Snore?
No. While excess weight increases risk, snoring can also be caused by structural issues, alcohol, or sedatives.

Myth 4: Snoring Means Poor Breathing?
Yes. Snoring indicates restricted airflow. Monitoring with sleep apps can help; frequent or loud snoring should be checked by a sleep clinic.

Myth 5: Can Pinching the Nose or Mouth Taping Stop Snoring?
Limited effect. These methods may help temporarily or in specific cases but do not address the root cause.

Ending Snoring for Quality Sleep

Snoring is a widespread issue affecting people worldwide. Studies show that about 45% of adults snore occasionally, while roughly 25% snore daily. Men and postmenopausal women are more prone to snoring, and snoring often worsens with age, becoming louder over time.

If you experience snoring, chronic fatigue, breathing difficulties, high blood pressure, or are overweight, you may be at risk for sleep apnea and should seek medical advice promptly.

Dr. Billy Lee Bing Li (MD, MC, MAIC)

Regenerative Medicine Specialist in Stem Cell Therapy

Stem Cell Technology: Regeneration & Anti-Aging

 

Stem cells are central to regenerative medicine due to their unique ability to develop into specialized cells. This capability enables the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues and organs. Today, stem cell research is advancing treatments for conditions such as spinal cord injuries, heart disease, and diabetes—unlocking new possibilities for healing and longevity.

Regenerative Sleep: The Key to Anti-Aging

Sleep: A Key to Mental and Physical Well-Being
Sleep is essential to our health, and insufficient sleep can lead to numerous physical and mental health problems. One of the most active parts of the body during sleep is the brain.

Lack of sleep weakens brain function, affecting memory, emotions, and decision-making, and increases the risk of anxiety and depression. Poor sleep is closely linked to mood disorders and can raise the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by reducing the brain’s ability to clear harmful toxins during deep sleep. Sleep deprivation also leads to more impulsive and risky behavior. In children, insufficient sleep is associated with behavioral problems, emotional stress, and poorer academic performance.

Sonia Tsai

Master of Nutrition, Michigan State University, U.S.

How Sleep and Enzymes Affect Metabolic Health

Studies show that sleeping less than 5-6 hours a night increases the risk of diabetes. But feeling “well-rested” doesn’t always mean you’re getting quality sleep- sleep duration alone isn’t enough. True metabolic health depends on both how long and how well you sleep.

 

Choo Chee Lin (B.A, H.D, M.A)

Registered TCM Physician and Acupuncturist from Singapore Chang Le Tcm Wellness Clinic

Sleep Deep, Detox Well: A TCM Perspective

In TCM, sleep relies on the balance of Yin and Yang. Daytime (Yang) is for activity, while nighttime (Yin) is for rest. Sleep occurs when Yang merges into Yin, allowing the body to repair, cleanse, and restore vitality.

TCM Tips for Improved Sleep Quality In TCM, each organ has an optimal time to perform its functions. The ideal sleep time is 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., aligning with the Triple Warmer Meridian, which supports melatonin production and cellular health. Between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., the liver and gallbladder handle detoxification, while the lungs and large intestine take over between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m.

Riani Susanto (N.D.)

Indonesian U.S. Certified Naturopathic Doctor

Benefits of Detox and Sleep for the Health of Mind, Body & Soul

We get sick not because disease is the enemy, but because something essential is missing in our lives—much of the damage happens silently within us, and the powerful solution we often overlook is simple: sleep heals.

Dr. Lam Chung Mei, Jamie (BSc (Med))

Specialist in Respiratory Medicine

Sleep & Cardiometabolic Disease

Lack of sleep seriously impacts long-term health, causing fatigue, poor focus, weight gain, and imbalanced blood pressure and blood sugar—key drivers of Metabolic Syndrome. As a result, more people are facing high blood pressure, weakened immunity, and endocrine issues at a younger age.

Lourdes DelRosso

Parents Worries-Free When Children Sleep Sound & Well

Good sleep is essential for children’s healthy development.
Quality sleep supports children’s physical growth, emotional regulation, psychological well-being, and communication skills. When children sleep well, they are better able to learn, manage emotions, and interact positively with others.

Healthy sleep habits are built through consistent routines, a calm and comfortable sleep environment, and limiting noise, screens, and stimulating activities before bedtime. For children who experience sleep difficulties, early support is especially important—timely intervention and guidance from healthcare professionals can greatly improve sleep quality and long-term development.

Dr. Andreas Prasadja (RPSGT)

Chief Consultant of Indonesia
Mitra Kemayoran Hospital Sleep Disorder Clinic

Sleep Boosts Vaccine Effectiveness

The modern health model, also known as the health triad, is nutritional balance, regular exercise, and sleep, which is especially based on sleep health, especially the length of sleep and the depth of sleep. Without good sleep health, even maintaining nutrition and exercise is not enough.

Jac Lim (Ph.D.)

Malaysian Doctor in Healthcare and Biotechnology

The Charm of Electric Potential Therapy

Electric Potential Therapy supports the body’s self-healing ability, helping improve sub-optimal health conditions. It relieves pain, promotes endorphin release, regulates the autonomic nervous system, and strengthens immunity—contributing to better overall health and well-being.

Dr. Rachel Ngan Yin Chan

Research Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Insomnia Weakens Immunity and Increases Illness Risk

 

Sleep is a core pillar of health, equal to nutrition and exercise, yet it is often neglected. Guided by our biological clock and sleep drive, the brain’s need for rest increases the longer we stay awake. Without sufficient, quality sleep, immune function declines, leaving the body more vulnerable to illness.

Lv Tsung-Hua

Taiwanese Attending Physician of Psychiatrist

Diseases Arise When the Circadian Rhythm Is Disrupted

The circadian rhythm is the body’s internal clock, regulating the sleep–wake cycle. When it becomes misaligned with external cues—due to factors like shift work or jet lag—sleep patterns are disrupted, increasing the risk of illness.

To stay in rhythm, follow good daily routines:

Daytime: wake up regularly, get sunlight, exercise, plan activities, manage stress, and take medication on time.

Nighttime: sleep at a regular time, avoid intense or mentally straining activities, limit stimulants and blue light, and create a comfortable sleep environment.

 

Lin Yuru the Nutritionist

Head of Nutrition Department of Taipei Medical University Hospital

The Key to Disease Prevention and Anti-Aging: Melatonin

Melatonin supports sleep, stress relief, immunity, and healthy aging. Its production is influenced by diet—nutrients like tryptophan and GABA, found in protein foods, whole grains, and vegetables, help promote better sleep. Balanced eating habits and avoiding sugar, caffeine, and alcohol before bedtime are essential for quality sleep.

Dr. Andri (SPKJ, FAPM)

Chief & Attending Psychiatrist of Indonesia Psychosomatic Clinic Omni Hospital

Better Sleep for Better Physical and Mental Health

Quality sleep is essential for physical health, immunity, metabolism, and mental well-being. Poor sleep increases the risk of stroke, diabetes, digestive and immune disorders, and contributes to fatigue, anxiety, and depression.

Regular exercise (not late at night), short naps (10–20 minutes), and healthy routines support better sleep. Maintaining good sleep quality is a natural yet critical foundation for both physical and mental health.

Rosemary Clancy

Sleep / Clinical Psychologist, Sydney Sleep Centre, Macquarie St, Sydney Australia

Sleep Cycles, Sleeping Pills & Why Education Matters

Normal sleep naturally cycles between light sleep, deep sleep, and dream (REM) sleep throughout the night. Many people misinterpret these normal awakenings as poor sleep and turn too quickly to sleeping pills. Experts warn that regular use of hypnotics often becomes long-term, leading to tolerance and memory-related side effects without solving the root problem.

Understanding normal sleep patterns, using medication only when truly needed, and prioritizing sleep education are key to breaking reliance on sleeping pills and restoring healthy sleep.

Dr. Koyabu Miki

Renowned International Chinese Physician Electric Potential & Thermotherapy Specialist

Comprehensive Medical Treatment Improves Sleep Quality

From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, sleep problems arise when qi, blood, and body fluids are imbalanced, disrupting the autonomic and endocrine systems. True improvement in sleep quality requires a comprehensive medical approach—addressing the root causes rather than relying on medication or surgery alone.

Dr. Laura Palagini

(M.D, PHD.)

Psychiatrist, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pisa, Italy

The Importance of Sleep Across All Ages

Sleep is essential at every stage of life, supporting brain development and overall health. Melatonin, the body’s nighttime hormone, regulates metabolism, supports new brain cell growth, helps clear brain toxins during sleep, and protects long-term brain health.

Dr. David R. Samson

Assistant Professor, University of Toronto, Mississauga

Sleep Clears Waste from the Nervous System

During sleep, the brain’s glymphatic system removes waste such as beta-amyloid proteins. Adequate sleep supports melatonin production, helping the brain clear these toxins and maintain neurological health.

Lew Wai Nan

AmLife Product Director

Improve Health Through Quality Sleep

Electric potential therapy devices, classified as Class II medical equipment by Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare, support cellular metabolism and balance ion exchange. Used during sleep, they help enhance sleep quality while promoting overall health.

Dr. Rimawati Tedjasukmana

Neurologist, Rumah Sakit Medistra Setiabudi, Jakarta

Insomnia Increases Mortality by Up to 12%

Insomnia is increasingly common and can have serious consequences. Triggered by factors such as stress, jet lag, poor sleep habits, and health conditions, chronic insomnia raises the risk of diseases including heart disease, stroke, obesity, weakened immunity, and mental disorders—and can increase overall mortality by up to 12%.

 

Dr. Ari Shechter

Assistant Professor of Medical Sciences, Medical Center, Columbia University

Three Elements That Determine Sleep Quality

According to Dr. Ari Shechter, quality sleep depends on three key factors: depth (restorative, deep sleep), duration (ideally 7–8 hours), and continuity (uninterrupted rest). When any of these elements are lacking, sleep quality declines and health can be affected.

Dr. Wu Chia Shuo

Clinical Psychologist/Sleep Management Expert of Taiwan

Four Sleep-Inducing Stages

The “4B” pre-bedtime rule promotes better sleep: Bath Time to relax the body, Pause Time to clear the mind, Relaxation Time to unwind, and Bedtime reserved strictly for sleep. Following these four stages helps the body transition naturally into restful sleep.

The Global Sleep Market Reached US$76.7 Billion in 2019

According to Professor Rayleigh Chiang, a pioneer in sleep medicine, the global sleep market reached US$76.7 billion in 2019, with sleep apnea growing at an annual rate of 11.3%. This rapid growth signals rising demand for sleep care solutions and vast opportunities in the global sleep industry.

Dr. Fidiana, SP.S.

Neurology Department of Airlangga University, Indonesia and a Member of the RSUD Dr. Sutomo Hospital in Surabaya

Deep Sleep is Crucial to Staying Healthy

Deep sleep is vital for restoring the body and mind, leaving us refreshed and energized. However, today’s fast-paced lifestyle often disrupts quality sleep. Dr. Fidiana warns that sleep disorders should not be overlooked, as they can have serious long-term effects on health and daily performance.

Dr. Ravi Gupta

Associate Professor, Department Of Mental And Sleep Medicine, Himalaya Medical Research Center

Lack of Melatonin is a cause of Cancer

Ever fall asleep in front of the TV yet wake up feeling exhausted? Dr. Ravi Gupta, a member of the World Academy of Sleep Medicine, explains that blue light from TVs, computers, and phones tricks the brain into thinking it’s daytime, suppressing melatonin, disrupting sleep patterns, and worsening insomnia.

 

The brain usually starts secreting melatonin at 9 or 10pm. Melatonin can help induce sleep and inhibit cell activities, and a lack of it thereof is deemed to be the cause of cancer in night shift workers and people who sleep with the lights on.

Prof. Dr. Muhd. Muhsin Ahmad Zahari

President of the SDSM (Sleep Deprivation Society of Malaysia)

40% of Malaysians Suffer from Sleep Disorders

According to Professor Dr. Muhd. Muhsin Ahmad Zahari, President of the Malaysian Sleep Disorders Association, sleep disorders not only disrupt rest but also increase the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart rhythm problems, memory loss, and stroke.

The Vicious Circle of Sleep Loss and Weight Gain
Lack of sleep disrupts hunger hormones—ghrelin rises and leptin falls—while metabolism slows and appetite increases, leading to weight gain. This partly explains why late nights often trigger late-night snacking. Malaysia’s obesity rate is the highest in Southeast Asia at 44.2%, highlighting the link between sleep and weight.

Dr. Huang Guo-Jun, PH.D.

Chairman of the Industrialization Committee of the International Sleep Science and Technology Association

SLEEP IS A MARKET FULL OF POTENTIAL

The global sleep technology industry featuring sleeping aid products such as beds, pillows and quilt covers, has recorded an output value of USD$11.3 billion in 2013, which increased to USD$35.2 billion in 2015, and is expected to reach USD$76.7 billion by 2019, according to an industry analysis report of BCC Research.

Dr. Liu Peng-Tzu

Executive Secretary of the International Sleep Science and Technology Association in Asia

Sleep Disorder is the Mother of all Diseases

Prolonged sleep deprivation hinders the body’s ability to recover, increasing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and cancer. Night-shift workers and those with frequent nightlife habits are especially vulnerable, as daytime sleep cannot fully compensate. Poor sleep quality or insufficient sleep disrupts the autonomic nervous system and may raise cancer risk by 10–20%.

Dr. Liang Wen Shen

Double Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine

Poor Quality Sleep Increases the Risk of Cancer

The body temperature of a sick person often drops to 35–36 °C, below the normal range of 36.5–37 °C. Prolonged low body temperature may increase the risk of illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Electric potential appliances emit 4–14 micron “life waves” that help promote blood circulation, maintain body temperature, and support immune function.
