“Always On” Culture Is Breaking Our Sleep But There’s a Way Out
The need to be reachable 24/7 is rewiring how we sleep, think, and feel. Zebble offers a new kind of solution.
Modern life is noisy and not just during the day. Notifications, late-night emails, and the fear of missing something important are keeping us in a state of alert even while we sleep.
According to the American Psychological Association, 91% of Gen Z report stress from being constantly connected, and the Harvard Business Review notes that “work-life boundaries are disappearing entirely” due to phone use.
Worse, many people feel they have no choice but to keep their phone by the bed just in case. As a result, sleep quality is deteriorating, and chronic stress hormones like cortisol remain elevated throughout the night, disrupting rest and recovery.
Zebble was created to solve that tension. With a screen-free design and the ability to take emergency calls from selected contacts, it lets people truly switch off without going off the grid.
Whether you're a parent, partner, professional or student, Zebble offers a simple way to protect your sleep and peace of mind in a world that rarely pauses.
