Overview
DUSQ is a sleep and recovery science company. We work at the intersection of neuroscience, autonomic physiology, and evolutionary biology; domains of sleep science that have been studied in isolation, but function as a system. We are not a wellness brand or a tracker company. We are not selling better habits. We study how recovery is regulated, and why it is failing under modern conditions.
