Editorial Policy and Research Methodology
What this policy covers
This page explains how Drift Breath creates informational content about sleep breathing, bedtime routines, and iPhone-based wind-down habits.
Our editorial approach
We write practical, answer-first pages for people searching questions such as:
- breathing exercises for sleep
- 4-7-8 breathing for sleep
- bedtime breathing routine
- racing thoughts at night
- screen-free bedtime routine
Our goal is to make these pages clear, useful, and easy to scan for both people and search systems.
How we research pages
When we publish or update a page, we use a lightweight research process:
- Start from the exact user question the page is trying to answer.
- Review reputable public-health or medical reference sources for background context.
- Keep product claims separate from health-information claims.
- Rewrite the page in plain language with clear headings, short answer blocks, FAQs, and internal links to related guides.
What sources we prefer
For background context, we prefer:
- U.S. government and NIH-backed health resources
- MedlinePlus and other public-health references
- Peer-reviewed evidence when it directly supports a claim
We do not treat our app pages as medical guidance, and we do not present product marketing as clinical evidence.
How we review content
Pages are reviewed by the Drift Breath Editorial Team for:
- factual consistency
- readability
- alignment with the current product experience
- clear distinction between wellness education and medical care
What we avoid
We avoid:
- unsupported medical claims
- exaggerated promises about sleep outcomes
- fake clinician endorsements or invented reviewer credentials
- keyword stuffing or doorway-style content
How often we update pages
We update pages when:
- the product experience changes
- search intent changes materially
- a page needs clearer sourcing, structure, or internal links
- a topic cluster expands and related guidance needs to be connected
