How Sleep Signal uses affiliate links and commissions.
How affiliate links work
Some links on Sleep Signal are affiliate links. If you purchase through them, Sleep Signal may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Compensation does not turn a merchant claim into independent evidence.
A practical decision framework
Start by defining the actual outcome you want: falling asleep, staying asleep, shifting a schedule, reducing bedtime stimulation, or evaluating a commercial product. Those goals can have different evidence and different next steps. Avoid assuming that one ingredient or one habit solves every sleep problem.
What the evidence standard should be
Strong claims need strong evidence. Mechanism explanations, testimonials and ingredient-level studies can generate hypotheses, but they do not automatically prove that a finished supplement treats a sleep disorder. We prioritize authoritative guidance and distinguish merchant statements from independent evidence.
