👋 Hey Product Hunt! I’m Ruxandra, and I started Curiosity Saved The Cat out of (you guessed it) curiosity. I wanted a space to slow down, explore the internet beyond algorithms, and share the things that spark wonder, from underrated headlines and smart essays to fun tools and obscure corners of the web. Every Sunday, a new edition lands in your inbox, built around a theme (like “The Illusion of Progress,” “The Case for Embracing Friction,” or “Reclaiming the Slow Lane”). Think of it as a curated scroll, without the doom. ✨ Inside each edition, you'll find: 📖 3 long-form reads that make you think 🗞️ 3 underrated or offbeat headlines ⚡ 3 ways to shake up your comfort zone 🎲 6 fun & quirky things: to learn, cook, try, visit, etc. 🌐 A “random corner of the internet” to wander into 📝 A word & question of the week to spark introspection Whether you're a maker, creative, writer, or just someone who's curious to explore the wonders of the internet in more depth, this is for you. 🐾 Let’s stay curious, not just optimized. 👉 You can check out the archive or subscribe here: https://curiositysavedthecat.com Would love your feedback, thoughts, or just a 👋 if this sounds like your cup of tea (matcha, coffee, whatever it is).

Edition #52 is live, and it's about sleep. Or rather, why we've been so bad at it 👀

This week, I went down a rabbit hole that started with World Sleep Day (yes, it's a thing) and ended somewhere between Swiss sleep retreats and a word game that mimics the brain's natural drift into unconsciousness.

A few things I didn't expect to find:

Hotels now have sleep doctors and overnight brain monitoring programmes, and a smart mattress company just hit a $1.5 billion valuation. Sleep has quietly become a luxury category.
Stanford Medicine researchers found that it's not just how long you sleep, but when. Your bedtime timing may matter more for your mental health than the number of hours.
A Canadian academic developed a technique called cognitive shuffling, which went viral on social media. The idea is to mimic hypnagogia, the transitional state between wakefulness and sleep, to trick your brain into switching off. Sleep specialists are paying attention.

What's one thing you've been genuinely curious about lately?

It doesn't need to be profound. Could be a question you Googled at 2 am, something a stranger said that stuck with you, or a topic you keep meaning to explore but haven't yet.

In my case, last week I found myself thinking about walking (a lot). It's my favorite hobby, but at some point, I realized I'd never actually looked into the science and psychology behind it. So I started wandering the internet for resources, and before I knew it, a whole newsletter edition had written itself.
