The publication
How guides are made
How Rested Review chooses topics, checks health information, uses AI and handles mistakes.
Who the guides are for
Adults in the UK who are sleeping badly and want to understand why, what they can safely try, and when to get help. Guides are not written for children or babies, and they are not a substitute for seeing a GP or pharmacist.
How topics are chosen
Topics come from the questions people type into search engines when they can’t sleep, such as “why do I wake up at 3am” or “does magnesium help you sleep”. Each guide answers one question properly rather than covering everything at once.
How health information is checked
Every health claim is checked against a reliable source before a guide is published. That usually means the NHS, NICE, GOV.UK or the MHRA, and sometimes a published research review. Each guide lists its sources at the end and links to them so you can check them yourself.
When the evidence is weak or mixed, the guide says so. A guide won’t call something a cure, and it won’t give medicine doses or tell you to stop a prescribed medicine.
How AI is used
Guides are drafted with the help of AI writing tools. Every draft is then edited and checked against its sources before it is published. Images on the site are made with AI image tools specifically for Rested Review, unless a caption says otherwise.
The guides have not been reviewed by a doctor or other health professional. The site doesn’t claim that they have.
Who edits the guides
Guides are edited by Amy Lewis, who is not a medical professional, however has a keen interest in the subject, having had recurring sleep problems in the past.
Dates and updates
Each guide shows when it was published and when its sources were last checked. Guides are reviewed when NHS or other guidance changes, or when someone reports a mistake. Small spelling fixes don’t change the date.
Mistakes and corrections
If you spot something wrong, email hello@restedreview.com with the page address and what you think is wrong. If you have a source, include it. Real errors are corrected and the page date is updated.
Affiliate links
If a page contains affiliate links, that page says so clearly. Earning a commission never changes the health information in a guide.
