About Dan
I spent nearly two decades working nights as a sleep technologist, helping people understand sleep while figuring out firsthand what it takes to function when your schedule works against you.
Along the way, I became an RN, raised a family, experimented with more productivity systems than I’d care to admit, and developed a habit of digging far too deeply into the research behind everyday problems.
Free-Insights is where I put all of that to use.
About Free-Insights
There is no shortage of advice on the internet. The problem is figuring out what’s actually worth listening to.
My goal with Free-Insights is simple: take complicated research, combine it with real-world experience, and turn it into something you can actually use.
Sleep and shift work are where I have the deepest experience, but I’m interested in the bigger picture too: productivity, parenting, health, technology, and the weird little experiments that make life work better.
I don’t pretend to have every answer. I research the hell out of the questions I’m interested in and show you what I find.
