Reprogram Yourself. Build a Better Life.
nuyu is an open-source system for understanding and reprogramming the biological inputs that shape your energy, cognition, and resilience. A free 10-part curriculum. A diagnostic profile. A device engineered for your circadian rhythm. All one system — starting with sleep.
What will you do with a new you?
The nuyu Method
You Are Programmable. The Method Shows You How.
Your daily experience — energy, mood, focus, resilience — is the output. Sleep, nutrition, movement, mindfulness, and environment are the inputs. Change the inputs consistently, and the outputs change. The nuyu method is a free, 10-part science-based curriculum for doing exactly that.
PARTS 1–3
Understand Your System
Learn the framework: you are a biological system with programmable inputs. Understand sleep science, chronotypes, and how to read your own system's signals.
PARTS 4–6
Redesign Your Inputs
Build a sleep foundation, then redesign the full input web: nutrition, movement, light, temperature, social architecture, creative engagement, and mental inputs.
PARTS 7–8
Make It Permanent
Master the architecture of habit formation and follow the nuyu Protocol — a structured system to transform changes into your new biological default.
Learn
A free 10-part curriculum with 56 interactive exercises.
From sleep science to habit architecture — the complete method, no account required.

An Aromatherapy Alarm Clock Engineered for Your Circadian Rhythm
Scent-conditioning, sunrise light, and targeted memory reactivation — helping your biology recover deeply, wake naturally, and build new habits faster.
The Wind-Down (Evening)
The calming scent and warm, red-hued light help your body naturally produce melatonin. Through conditioning, the scent itself becomes a powerful trigger, signaling to your brain that it's time to rest.
The Gentle Wake-Up (Morning)
The morning scent can start before the light and sound, conditioning your body to begin raising cortisol, so you might even start waking up naturally before the alarm fully sounds.
The Habit Reinforcement
By performing a new habit while the morning scent is active, you create a powerful link. The clock can then re-introduce that scent during deep sleep to help solidify that new habit into your routine faster.
A Comprehensive Toolkit for Better Sleep
The nuyu clock is more than just a product—it's an open-source tool designed to help you establish a healthy circadian rhythm.
Two Independent Wells
Use a calming scent for bedtime and an energizing scent for waking up, without cross-contamination.
Personalized Voice Alarms
Set alarms with your own voice recordings to remind you why you want to wake up or go to sleep.
Sunrise-Simulating Light
Wake up naturally with a light that gradually brightens to mimic the dawn, helping you feel more alert.
Bedside Notebook
Capture late-night ideas or journal your dreams without reaching for your phone and its disruptive blue light.

nuyu integrates established principles from neuroscience, circadian biology, and behavioral science into a single coherent system for biological change.
Neuroplasticity & Inputs
Your brain physically rewires based on the inputs it receives consistently. Change the inputs — light, movement, nutrition, sleep timing — and the hardware changes with them.
Sleep as the Foundation
Sleep is the operating system everything else runs on. Improving it doesn't just improve one domain — it upgrades the substrate that all other inputs depend on.
Habit Architecture
Lasting change doesn't come from willpower. It comes from building the right systems — consistent inputs that make the desired state the biological default, not the effortful exception.
