Introducing Calm Sleep: A New Era in Restorative Technology

Calm has officially launched its new stand-alone app, Calm Sleep, designed to provide users with personalized sleep support. Available on iOS, the app integrates Calm’s extensive library of sleep content with innovative features that target improved sleep hygiene, thereby enabling users to wind down effectively, achieve restful sleep, and wake up revitalized.

Personalized Sleep Plans and Habit Formation

Upon initial setup, users complete a brief onboarding questionnaire which serves as the basis for a customized sleep plan. This tailored approach includes recommended content and daily tasks that focus on key areas such as digital hygiene, exercise, stress reduction, and optimizing the sleep environment. A unique “sleep readiness” bar provides a visual cue that tracks progress as users complete these tasks, reinforcing positive behavioral changes throughout the day.

In an era where data-driven decisions are transforming personal health, Calm Sleep seamlessly syncs with wearable devices via Apple HealthKit. This feature enables users to monitor their sleep metrics and take proactive steps based on comprehensive data insights, demonstrating how integrated technology can enhance personal well-being.

Exclusive Content and Branding Excellence

The app further distinguishes itself by offering exclusive content, including new Sleep Stories voiced by radio host Delilah and actor Andrew Scott, alongside an expansive archive of over 300 hours of curated sleep content. Notably, all newly released sleep material enjoys a four-week exclusivity window on the Calm Sleep platform, underscoring Calm’s commitment to delivering premium and unique user experiences.

Proven Track Record and Future Expansion

Calm has long been synonymous with the sleep content industry, with its initial introduction of Sleep Stories a decade ago having resonated with a global audience through over 1 billion plays. “With Calm Sleep, we are not merely informing our users about better sleep practices; we are empowering them to transform their sleep habits,” said Jon Tien, Chief Product Officer at Calm. This pioneering approach is now encapsulated in an app that supports a holistic sleep journey—from daytime routines to nighttime rituals.

Accessibility and Forward-Looking Innovation

Users can begin their journey with Calm Sleep for free, exploring personalized plans, daily tasks, and wearable integration. For those seeking a comprehensive experience, the Calm Sleep Premium subscription is available at $69.99 per year. With plans to extend the service to Android in the near future, Calm continues to expand its influence in the sleep and wellness space.

EU Moderates Emissions While Sustaining Economic Momentum

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

November 15, 2025

The European Union witnessed a modest decline in greenhouse gas emissions in the second quarter of 2025, as reported by Eurostat. Emissions across the EU registered at 772 million tonnes of CO₂-equivalents, marking a 0.4 percent reduction from 775 million tonnes in the same period of 2024. Concurrently, the EU’s gross domestic product rose by 1.3 percent, reinforcing the ongoing decoupling between economic growth and environmental impact.

Sector-By-Sector Performance

Within the broader statistics on emissions by economic activity, the energy sector—specifically electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply—experienced the most significant drop, declining by 2.9 percent. In comparison, the manufacturing sector and transportation and storage both achieved a 0.4 percent reduction. However, household emissions bucked the trend, increasing by 1.0 percent over the same period.

National Highlights And Notable Exceptions

Among EU member states, 12 reported a reduction in emissions, while 14 saw increases, and Estonia’s figures remained static. Notably, Slovenia, the Netherlands, and Finland recorded the most pronounced declines at 8.6 percent, 5.9 percent, and 4.2 percent respectively. Of the 12 countries reducing emissions, three—Finland, Germany, and Luxembourg—also experienced a contraction in GDP growth.

Dual Achievement: Environmental And Economic Goals

In an encouraging development, nine member states, including Cyprus, managed to lower their emissions while maintaining economic expansion. This dual achievement—reducing environmental impact while fostering economic activity—is a trend that has increasingly influenced EU climate policies. Other nations that successfully balanced these outcomes include Austria, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania, Slovenia, and Sweden.

Conclusion

As the EU continues to navigate its climate commitments, these quarterly insights underscore a gradual yet significant shift toward balancing emissions reductions with robust economic growth. The evolving landscape highlights the critical need for sustainable strategies that not only mitigate environmental risks but also invigorate economic resilience.
