Hey there, I'm Chris, the founder of RestIQ. Welcome to my little corner of the internet dedicated to all things sleep!

The Night Owl Who Learned to Soar

At 38, I've spent more than half my life chasing that elusive good night's sleep. Tossing, turning, staring at the ceiling – sound familiar? I've been there, done that, and bought the weighted blanket (spoiler: it helps!).

From Sleepless to Sleep Enthusiast

My turning point came when I realized that poor sleep wasn't just making me grumpy; it was affecting every aspect of my life. Relationships, work performance, health – you name it, lack of sleep was messing with it.

That's when I decided: enough is enough. I dove headfirst into the world of sleep science, devouring research papers, experimenting with countless sleep hacks, and yes, even trying that weird thing with the banana tea (verdict: surprisingly not terrible).

Why RestIQ?

RestIQ isn't just another sleep blog. It's a culmination of my personal battles, victories, and ongoing journey with sleep. Here, you'll find:

  • Real talk about real struggles: No sugar-coating, just honest experiences.
  • Science-backed insights: Because who doesn't love a good fact?
  • Practical tips that actually work: Tested by yours truly (and sometimes my very patient partner).
  • A community of fellow sleep-seekers: Because misery loves company – but so does progress!

More Than Just a Good Night's Sleep

What I've learned is that great sleep isn't just about feeling refreshed in the morning (although that's pretty awesome). It's about giving your body and mind the restoration they need to thrive. It's about longevity, mental clarity, emotional balance, and squeezing the most out of every single day.

RestIQ is more than just my story – it's about all of us who are on this journey to better sleep and better lives. I'd love to hear about your experiences, challenges, and triumphs. Drop a comment, share your thoughts, and let's build a community of well-rested, energized individuals together!

Here's to better nights and brighter days!
