Editorial Policy
Last updated September 23, 2026
This page explains how UncommonSleep creates, checks and updates its content. Our goal is simple: to give you clear, honest information about sleep, without hype.
Editorial independence
UncommonSleep’s editorial content is produced independently of any advertiser or affiliate partner.
We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review.
No brand or partner has editorial approval over our content, and none sees our articles before they’re published.
Some links on this site are affiliate links. You can read how that works on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
How we choose what to cover
We focus on common sleep problems and on products and programs that readers are likely to come across.
Whether a brand has an affiliate program does not decide whether we cover it, or what we say about it.
How we research
- We rely on reputable sources, such as government health agencies, medical organizations and published research.
- We separate research findings from marketing claims.
- For products, we use the brand’s own published information and say clearly when a detail comes from the brand.
- Where we link to sources, we try to link to the original or an authoritative summary.
How we write about health
- We describe evidence honestly, including when it’s limited or mixed.
- We don’t claim a product treats or cures a medical condition.
- We point readers to a doctor when a problem may need medical care.
- Our content is general information, not medical advice. See our Medical Disclaimer.
What we won’t do
- We won’t publish star ratings we can’t back up.
- We won’t invent testimonials, reviews or user numbers.
- We won’t claim hands-on testing, lab testing or expert review that didn’t happen.
- When information isn’t public, we say “Not publicly stated” instead of guessing.
Updates
We update reviews and comparisons periodically as information changes.
Where a page shows a “last updated” date, it reflects the most recent meaningful update.
Prices and product details change often, so always check the brand’s own site before buying.
Corrections
If you believe something on this site is inaccurate or outdated, please let us know.
We review every correction request. When we find an error, we fix it promptly.
