The night is bigger than sleep tips.
Night School studies what happens after the day is supposed to be over. The subject can be biology, work, money, relationships, intimacy, family, grief, the body, substances, food, technology, environment, time, tomorrow or the culture we’ve built around sleep.
Our editorial rule: find the thing behind the thing.
Our evidence rule: provocative question, conservative answer.

How we label certainty
Established. Strong support for the narrow statement.
Emerging. Interesting evidence that remains incomplete.
Traditional use. History of use, not proof of clinical effect.
Hypothesis. A plausible idea presented as an idea.
Held philosophy. Our framework, not medical fact.
The day gives us the subject. The night gives us the perspective.
