Our Story

Growing up without her parents, Amany had always struggled with sleep. Drew faced similar challenges, dealing with irregular hours in the US Navy and high-pressure corporate jobs. We both had come to accept lethargic mornings, afternoon crashes, and stress as part of life.

We purchased health trackers and started a four year journey of (sometimes fanatical) research and self-experimentation. The impact a night filled with Deep and REM stage sleep had on the next day was striking: more energy, less stress, and healthier diet and exercise choices. When some lifestyle modifications increased our restorative sleep time for a few nights in a row it was like we had discovered a new superpower! We lifted more weight at the gym, delivered work presentations with confidence, and were unfazed by normally irritating events.

In search of more restorative sleep and more consistency, we encountered the outdated and dubious world of sleep supplements. We were shocked that virtually every product focused on falling asleep instead of quality sleep – the real source of peak daily performance and long-lasting health benefits. Each featured problematic melatonin (opens in a new window), ineffective natural ingredients, or off-label synthetic drugs. Even when a product had the right ingredient it was usually under-dosed, in a poorly absorbed form, or both. And no products did enough to fight stress, which we knew could easily negate even our best efforts to get quality sleep.

We loved our new superpower, but we hated the expensive and inconvenient process of taking several pills and bad-tasting powders. We also wished it was easier to share our results with our family and friends. The idea for Remade was born.

Everywhere we put effort in our lives – relationships, health, work – restorative sleep became a force multiplier that turned life on easy-mode.
