Corrections

When we're wrong, we say so.

Every correction is published here, dated, in the open. That's the point.

• 2026-10-13 — Phone in bed: This page said the phone harms sleep by keeping you mentally wound up as well as by keeping you up later, and that scrolling in bed does the opposite of helping you wind down. A 2026 meta-analysis that followed the same young people from day to day found no significant link between screen time and how long it took them to fall asleep or how well they slept; the better-supported explanation is that the phone keeps you up later. The page now says so, and no longer says that the trial and the size of the association point the same way. The fix also used to include a screen-free last hour before bed. Its only support was an exploratory subgroup in one trial and a 38-person pilot, so the fix is now only to put the phone across the room. Two sentences were removed outright: one suggesting a standalone alarm clock, because a fix here never involves buying anything, and one saying blue-light glasses have the same problem as night mode, because no source on this page tested glasses. The numbers on this page are unchanged.
• 2026-10-12 — Movement after meals: This page said a walk after a meal works because leg muscles pull sugar out of the blood just as the meal is absorbed, and gave that as the reason the timing matters. That explanation is a hypothesis in the reviewers' discussion, not a measured finding, and the same reviewers consider other processes more likely. The page now says so. The findings themselves are unchanged: the lower blood-sugar rise, and walking after the meal beating the same walk before it.
• 2026-10-08 — Short sleep: The number of people behind the short-sleep figure was given as 1,382,999. That is the review's total across all of its analyses; the short-sleep analysis itself pooled 25 cohorts from 15 studies with 1,381,324 people and 112,163 deaths. The finding (about 12% higher risk, RR 1.12) is unchanged.

Report an error

If something here is wrong — a number, a source, or a conclusion the evidence does not support — tell us. A person reads this.

Email onehonestfix@gmail.com and include:

• Which page or video — a link, or the topic name.
• The specific claim — quote it if you can.
• Why you think it is wrong — a source is ideal, a reason is enough.

What happens next. The claim is checked against the paper it came from. If it is wrong, the source of truth is corrected, every page built from it is regenerated, and the correction appears on this page with the date and what changed. If a published video repeats the error, that is recorded here too — a posted video cannot be quietly edited, so the correction is the record. If the claim turns out to be right, you get an answer explaining why; the check is the same either way.

One person reads this inbox, so a reply may take a few days. Please use it for factual and methodological errors rather than personal health questions — nothing here can be advice about your situation, and the medical disclaimer explains why.
