About Live Work Sleep
Hi there, and welcome to liveworksleep.
offers a calm corner and a clear explanation rather than hype
I’m Scott Hilliard, the creator of liveworksleep. For most of my life I didn’t think too much about sleep or wellbeing. I assumed feeling wired, mentally overloaded, and “always on” was just how modern life worked. I focused on performance and responsibility, and treated sleep as something to squeeze in rather than something to build a life around.
By my mid-40s, I was Managing Director of a large media agency with around 200 employees. On paper it looked impressive. In reality, the way I was living was starting to feel unsustainable. I knew how to manage clients, teams, and results, but I knew almost nothing about the foundations that make any of that possible: sleep, recovery, focus, and a calmer nervous system.
When I finally started learning properly about sleep and wellbeing how it actually works, what the research says, and which tools genuinely help everything began to shift. I started testing the same devices everyone sees online sleep trackers, calm-tech, environmental tools and slowly separated what was useful from what was noise.
liveworksleep exists because I wish I had understood these things much sooner. This site is for people who want trustworthy guidance without fear-based messaging, miracle claims, or endless overwhelm. A place where you can understand what affects your sleep and focus, choose tools more confidently, and build routines that feel sustainable in real life.
My Mission
