Since 2004 our smartsleep founder Dr. Markus Dworak was fascinated by the subject of sleep. Already in his doctoral thesis, Markus dealt with why we have to sleep every day and which factors are important for our recovery during sleep. Markus reached the peak of his research as a scholarship holder at the renowned Harvard University in the USA and with the award of the Young Talent Award of the German Society for Sleep Research and Sleep Medicine. Despite his research successes, however, the fact that Markus himself often neglected sleep due to his job, family and many hobbies did not change. So he went in search of products that could support sleep in a natural way that made sense and was free from side effects.
