BENEFITS OF BETTER SLEEP
Faster Learning
Sleep acts like a ‘save’ button for your brain, helping you absorb and retain new information. Research from Harvard found that students who get quality sleep learn new skills 20% faster than those running on fumes.
Sharper Memory
Getting enough sleep helps your brain file away information like a supercomputer. Studies show that students who sleep 7-9 hours improve memory recall by up to 40%, making late-night cram sessions more impactful after you drift off.
Stress Sheild
Sleep is your built-in stress buffer. Well-rested students have lower levels of cortisol (the stress hormone), making them 30% more resilient in high-pressure situations, like exams or presentations.
Peak Performance
Whether you’re writing an essay or enjoying all the outdoor activities Victoria has to offer, sleep is fuel. A Stanford study found that students who slept 10 hours a night ran faster, reacted quicker, and performed better.
Creativity Boost
Studies show that a well-rested brain is 60% better at making unexpected connections—turning everyday thoughts into breakthrough ideas. Sleep isn’t downtime; it’s an upgrade.

“The secret to sleep isn’t forcing yourself to do it—it’s getting your brain to stop fighting against it. Given the opportunity, your body will do what it needs.”
~ Adrien Sala, WikiSleep Founder
ABOUT WIKISLEEP
WikiSleep was created by award-winning writer and producer Adrien Sala, born out of his own struggles with sleep. Like so many others, he wrestled with insomnia—his mind racing at night with financial worries, work stress, relationships and even those small, lingering embarrassments that resurface at the worst times. Sleep felt just out of reach, no matter how tired he was.
In his search for relief, Adrien turned to podcasts. Engaging stories helped distract his restless mind, allowing his body to naturally drift into sleep. But the jarring interruptions—ads, sudden volume shifts—kept pulling him back awake. The very thing that was supposed to help was working against him.
Determined to create a better solution, Adrien combined his experience as a writer and producer with his deep understanding of mindfulness. Having practiced meditation extensively in his 20s—including Vipassana retreats in Nepal and India and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) courses in Canada—he knew how powerful focused attention could be in calming the mind. He used that knowledge to shape WikiSleep: a sleep tool built on the simple yet effective idea of diversion.
WikiSleep provides stories that are interesting enough to gently pull listeners away from anxious thoughts, but soothing enough to lull them into sleep. Every piece of content is crafted with care, free from distractions like ads or volume spikes. As the creator, Adrien oversees nearly every aspect of WikiSleep, with support from a small team of talented developers and narrators.
His goal? To make falling asleep feel natural again—no stress, no overthinking, just rest.
