I joined the Tom’s Guide team back in August 2024 as the Sleep Features Editor. Since then, I’ve interviewed neuroscientists, been hooked up to brain wave monitors and spoken to countless sleep doctors and experts.

I’ve learned about every aspect of rest, from night terrors and sleep cycles to sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome, and I’ve tested all sorts of nighttime equipment, from the best mattresses of the year to mouth tape.
