Sources & citations
Dao Sleep is cultural self-care education inspired by traditional Chinese wellness ideas (bedtime rhythm, kitchen tips, gentle acupressure points). It is not a medical device, diagnosis, or treatment. Recommendations in Explore / Why / Nourish are educational rewrites — not clinical protocols.

Cultural lineage (educational rewrite)
In-app Explore stories and tonight paths are original English product copy. Editorial research drew on publicly discussed traditional teaching themes (for example SuperDr-style 养生养心 / sleep-care talks and related Chinese wellness education materials). We do not present those talks as clinical prescriptions, and we do not copy medical dosing claims into the app.
Where the app mentions “Dao view,” that means a cultural teaching frame (yang/yin rhythm, kitchen care, gentle points)— not a licensed medical opinion.
