Editorial Standards & Ethics Guide

Table of Contents

At Night Shift Sleep Guide, we take accuracy, transparency, and trust seriously—especially because we cover topics related to sleep, wellness, and health. Below are the principles that guide every article we publish.

1. Accuracy & Evidence-Based Information

We rely on reputable research and trusted institutions, including:

  • peer-reviewed scientific journals

  • the CDC, NIH, NIOSH, and AASM

  • well-established medical and academic publications

We do not publish health claims that we cannot verify. When medical or scientific information is referenced, we cite the source directly.

2. Non-Medical Content Policy

Night Shift Sleep Guide does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Our articles offer lifestyle guidance, sleep habits, product insights, and research-supported ideas that readers can consider—not clinical recommendations.

Every article includes a medical disclaimer where relevant.

3. Authorship Transparency

Our content is written under the editorial pen name Alex Rowan, which represents the Night Shift Sleep Guide editorial team.
This byline ensures consistency across our articles.
We do not present this name as a medical expert or clinical professional.

Articles published under the Alex Rowan name:

  • are collaboratively created by our editorial team

  • draw on personal experience with irregular schedules

  • synthesize scientific and medical research responsibly

  • go through team review before publication

4. Editorial Independence

Our editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, affiliates, and sponsors.
We may earn commissions from product links, but this never influences what we write or recommend.

Sponsored content is clearly disclosed.

5. Fact-Checking & Review Process

Before publication, every article is checked for:

  • accuracy

  • clarity

  • proper sourcing

  • balanced and non-misleading claims

  • consistency with current research

We update content as new information becomes available.

6. Corrections Policy

If an error is identified, we correct it promptly and transparently.
Significant corrections may include a note explaining the change.

Readers can request corrections via our Contact page or email.

7. Ethical Content Practices

We do not:

  • use AI-generated information without human review

  • publish unverified statistics

  • present anecdotal claims as fact

  • exaggerate health risks or benefits

  • fabricate expertise or credentials

We do:

  • cite reputable research

  • maintain transparency

  • respect the experiences of night-shift workers

  • create original content tailored to real-world needs

8. Diversity, Respect & Inclusivity

Night-shift workers come from every profession and background.
We avoid stereotypes and treat every community with respect.
