Snoozeletter 😴 Wrapped 2025: What You Actually Read This Year

Dec 30

Written By Sarah Petroski

Hello friends,

As the year winds down, I looked back at every Snoozeletter I sent in 2025.

There were 43 emails total.
And 21 of them crossed a 65% open rate.

When I reread those 21 emails side by side, something became clear:
You open emails that make sleep feel human.

The most-read Snoozeletters this year were the ones where we talked about:

• staying up late on purpose for something meaningful
• parenting, fatigue, and letting rules bend
• biohacking culture and where it helps or harms
• AI anxiety and why sleep can’t be automated
• politics, uncertainty, and nervous systems under pressure
• seasonal light, winter REM, summer chaos
• letting go of perfection without giving up on care

Again and again, the message that landed was:

Sleep is not a rulebook, it’s a skill that requires discernment.

Some nights are short, some seasons are messy, some routines loosen for good reasons. Healthy sleep isn’t obedience its adaptability.

If there’s one thing this year reinforced for me, it’s that people are hungry for guidance that reduces anxiety, not increases it.

For science that explains instead of shames and support that fits real lives.

Thank you for reading.
Thank you for staying.
Thank you for trusting nuance in a world and media that prefers extremes.

I’ll be here in 2026, still talking about sleep the same way: evidence, compassion, and respect for being human.

One small housekeeping note before I sign off.

I’m still offering free shipping on the next 10 Rest to Rise journals sold. After that, a shipping fee will be added when you checkout.

If you’ve already purchased one, thank you. Truly. This journal was made slowly, thoughtfully, and in a small batch, and it means a lot to see it land in homes around the country and even from people I have never met!

My hope is that it supports your sleep, reflection, and daily rhythms in a way that feels meaningful to you.
