What this is
allinlance is an independent publication on sleep science. The point is simple: take peer-reviewed evidence — the kind buried in journals most people never open — and translate it into language anyone can read in under fifteen minutes.
No products to sell. No jargon to hide behind. No replacement for a doctor. The site works one step earlier than clinical care: helping you see what sleep actually is, before you decide what to do about it.
Who's writing
Lance Wang — industrial designer and product engineer by training, writing on sleep science as a parallel commitment. The standing interest is circadian biology and what the underlying physiology looks like once it's translated out of the journals. This site is what that interest looks like in public.
Conflict of interest
The author works professionally in the consumer health and lighting industry, including roles touching sleep-related products. That commercial position creates a direct conflict of interest with anything written here about light or sleep aids. What that means in practice:
- The author has a commercial interest in the broad topic of "light and sleep." Read every claim about light with that in mind.
- This site does not review products from any company the author is commercially involved with. The conflict is too direct; reviewing them would be useless even if the review were honest.
- User stories and quotes on this site come exclusively from public sources — Reddit, App Store reviews, published research, interviews. The site does not use internal user data the author has access to through any commercial role, anonymized or otherwise.
- Every paper, book, and statistic cited has a verifiable link. Read the originals when you want to check the claim.
- No paid content. No advertising. No affiliate links. No sponsored posts.
The reason for this line is simple: in a YMYL field like sleep, an opaque author has no credibility to lose. If you read this disclosure and decide the writing still isn't trustworthy — that's a fair call. Read the primary sources directly.
Editorial principles
- Papers first. Every claim has to trace back to peer-reviewed work. When the evidence is thin, the writing says so.
- Recent first. Sleep science moves fast. A 2024 meta-analysis beats a 2010 review.
- Disclose uncertainty. Observational studies, un-peer-reviewed preprints, small samples — all flagged in the text.
- Plain language. Terms like melanopic EDI get a translation the first time they appear.
- Stay out of the clinician's chair. Anywhere a "you should" feels appropriate, the text instead reads "the evidence suggests X — for your situation, talk to a sleep specialist."
