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.
About The Inactive Company
The Inactive Company is a sleep performance brand dedicated to developing technology and tools that enhance rest and recovery for everyone. Its innovative sleep mask, Inactivators™, is a scientifically backed solution to improve sleep and is trusted by professional and collegiate sports organizations. By emphasizing the science of sleep and the power of intentional design, the company aims to create a world of well-rested individuals. For more information, visit https://inactiveco.com.

Toxic 'forever chemical' showing up in European food and wine
A team of researchers has found "alarmingly high" levels of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a so-called forever chemical, in dozens of organic and non-organic pastas, baked goods and breakfast cereals from Europe, as well as in wine. "In conventional grain products, the average levels were so high that a health risk to children can no longer be ruled out," said Helmut Burtscher-Schaden, an environmental chemist part of the Brussels-based Pesticide Action Network (PAN) Europe, which describes TFA as a "product of PFAS pesticides and industrial chemicals." Forever chemicals, also known as PFAS, are thousands of long-lasting substances used in household and everyday products since the middle of the 20th century but which have been found to be difficult to remove from the environment and from human bodies. The latest research points to 'widespread contamination from PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) pesticides," PAN Europe said, warning that TFA tends to build up in water and farmland. The amount of TFA in the food items was found to be three times that recorded in a similar study eight years ago, according to PAN Europe, which in April warned of "dramatic rise" of TFA in wine. In a report covering wines from Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg and Spain, PAN Europe found that while pre-1988 vintages do not contain any such contamination, there has been a "sharp increase" in pesticide and chemical residues in wine bottled since 2010. Such a "steep accumulation" should be "a red flag that calls for decisive action," according to Michael Müller, a professor of pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry at the University of Freiburg. The European Chemicals Agency has warned that TFA "may cause harm to the unborn child" and "may impair fertility."
