Methodology: Pocket Lofi: Study & Sleep

Where our information comes from

Guides on noise, sleep, focus and study techniques are written against peer-reviewed studies (via PubMed and PMC), the Sleep Foundation, university pages and clinic explainers such as the Cleveland Clinic and Harvard Health. Each guide lists its sources, and a claim describes what a study found, including its size, rather than promising an outcome.

How we use AI

AI helps draft the guides. Every claim is then checked against its source before a page becomes indexable, and the review ledger lives in the repository as TOPICS-REVIEW.md.

What the app is, and is not

Pocket Lofi plays original lofi music in five stations. It does not generate white, pink or brown noise, and it does not play binaural beats; guides on those subjects exist because people ask, and each one says plainly that the app plays music instead. Nothing here is medical advice.

Corrections

We want to get this right. If you spot an error, tell us and we'll review it against the sources and update the guide.

How a guide is built

Each guide opens with a direct answer, then three to five short sections that follow the questions people actually type, then the takeaways and the sources. Where a study is small or the evidence is mixed, the guide says so in the sentence that cites it, because a lofi app has no business overstating sleep science.

Guides are re-checked against their sources at least once a year, and the date on each page is the last time that check ran.
