Waking Up Launches 'Deep Rest Reset' 14-Day Recovery Program with Dr. Andy Galpin
Waking Up launched Deep Rest Reset, a 14-day sleep and recovery challenge developed in partnership with human performance scientist Dr. Andy Galpin and his company Absolute Rest. The program combines performance sleep science, behavioral change, guided Waking Up meditations, and optional wearable data analysis through Oura, WHOOP, and Fitbit. Each day includes a reflection, video lesson from Galpin, one concrete behavior change, and a guided meditation for downregulation and rest transition. The program signals Waking Up's expansion beyond pure meditation into 'contemplative wellbeing' — bridging inner practice with measurable physiological outcomes via biometric wearable integration.
