Global Sleep Symposium Features Inactivators™ Sleep Mask for Performance-Driven Sleep Support as America Faces an Unprecedented Era of Stress
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 17, 2025--
As April marks National Stress Awareness Month, Atlanta-based sleep performance company The Inactive Company, is showcasing its innovative sleep mask, Inactivators™, as a science-backed solution to help combat stress by promoting deeper, restorative sleep.
Developed over more than a year, largely in collaboration with hospitality and performance brands such as Equinox Hotels, the National Football League, and Collegiate Football properties, The Inactive Company is launching nationally in conjunction with the Global Sleep Symposium. Inactivators feature a patented five-layer design. They are not just sleep masks; they act as a performance tool for anyone looking to enhance their sleep quality, especially during periods of heightened anxiety and stress.
'Stress and sleep are closely interconnected. Each affects the other, and both can be improved with the right tools,' says Lori Oliver, co-founder of The Inactive Company. 'Inactivators are designed to support your sleep physiology, allowing your body to restore, recover, and recharge each night.'
Featuring 100% light blockage, cooling materials, and a customizable ergonomic fit, Inactivators facilitate deeper and more restorative sleep. By tackling common stress-related sleep issues like restlessness and temperature regulation, the mask offers relief for individuals who lie awake with racing thoughts.
'Sleep is essential for everything—memory, mood, immune system,' notes Jill MacRae, co-founder of The Inactive Company. 'This month aims to remind people that managing stress begins with prioritizing rest.'
The five-layer Inactivators mask includes:
More than 60 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disorders, and only one in three adults gets the recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Even mild sleep deprivation can lead to increased stress, cognitive decline, and long-term health risks like high blood pressure and obesity.
Inactivators Take Center Stage at the Global Sleep Symposium
The performance sleep mask will be featured at the second annual Global Sleep Symposium on May 1 in New York City, where sleep experts, wellness leaders, and tech pioneers will gather to explore the future of sleep innovation and technology.
'Our presence at the Symposium is timely. The country and the world are facing unprecedented levels of sleep deprivation. However, as we prepare to hear from some of the brightest minds in health, we feel incredibly optimistic about our Inactivators product and the opportunity to awaken the sleep superpowers inherent in people,' adds Oliver.

Navigating Skincare: Keloids, Climate, and Consistency
As a child, the dermatologist was the doctor I visited most frequently. Between dark spots on my face, severely chapped lips, and dry skin during the winter, I was always being prescribed a new ointment or remedy to try. Today, the first two issues have been resolved thanks to healthier eating habits and finding the right skin care and lip products for me. However, I still deal with dry skin not only in the winter but throughout most of the year. I've noticed that my keloid scars, along with the surrounding areas, are particularly prone to dry skin. For those unfamiliar with keloids, they're a growth of extra scar tissue that happens where the skin has healed after an injury or surgical procedure. I've been dealing with them since I was in middle school, having developed a large one on the back of my earlobe following my ear piercing. My breast cancer treatment and surgeries introduced several more keloids into my life, including at the site of my chemo port, in the radiated area of my breast, and the largest one – a long scar across my back from one of my breast reconstruction surgeries. While they're not painful, they're often dry, itchy, and hard to reach in certain spots (like the scar on my back, which can be tricky to moisturize properly because of its location). I recently moved from Atlanta to Chicago, which has caused me to rethink my winter skin care routine, especially when it comes to my keloid-prone skin. The cold, dry air makes my scars even itchier and more dehydrated, so I've had to adjust my approach. I've found that layering an oil-based body lotion with a body oil helps my skin lock in moisture longer. Additionally, applying Vaseline to my keloids every morning and night has provided extra relief. My need for a tailored skin care routine isn't just about adapting to the colder months. It's a reminder of how I've had to advocate for my skin's unique needs throughout my health journey – from childhood to my breast cancer treatment. Many aspects of health care don't always consider the needs of people with melanin-rich skin, something I've learned time and time again. One example of this happened before starting radiation, when I was informed that the radiated area would turn darker, like a tan. However, what I experienced was nothing like a cute summer tan – my skin turned completely black and became very tender and painful. I realized early on that the standard skin care recommendations wouldn't work for my skin's needs, requiring me to look for alternatives. Taking proper care of my skin is a constant journey, especially when navigating different climates and changing seasons. I usually shop based on reviews, which has quickly taught me that what works for one person might not work for another, and that's OK. The key is to listen to your body, stay consistent, and adjust your routine to support your skin's unique needs. Whether it's layering oils during the winter or finding products that soothe and hydrate, prioritizing what works best for you is key – your skin will thank you for it.
