Not just a link list — we show which decisionseach source informed.

This register lists only sources actually used in the published tools. A denotes a review or meta-analysis, B a peer-reviewed primary study, and Practice public clinical education guidance.

These labels describe the source layer; they do not grade or guarantee the effect of the complete web tool. Read the ‘Does not show’ column with every claim.

SRC-001A Meta-Analysis on Antecedents and Outcomes of Detachment from Work (2017)DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2016.02072Frontiers in PsychologyReviewed source from the kokekoke research SQLite database (SRC-001).meta analysisLevel: Apubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28133454/2026-07-21Psychological detachment from work is associated with several well-being, fatigue, and sleep outcomes.It does not show that one short ritual works for everyone or causes better sleep.
SRC-008Consider it done! Plan making can eliminate the cognitive effects of unfulfilled goals (2011)DOI: 10.1037/a0024192Journal of Personality and Social PsychologyReviewed source from the kokekoke research SQLite database (SRC-008).primary studyLevel: Bpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21688924/2026-07-21Making a specific plan for an unfinished goal may reduce its cognitive intrusion.Writing a vague to-do does not guarantee that rumination will stop.
SRC-010Pre-sleep cognitive activity in adults: A systematic review (2020)DOI: 10.1016/j.smrv.2019.101253Sleep Medicine ReviewsReviewed source from the kokekoke research SQLite database (SRC-010).systematic reviewLevel: Apubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31918338/2026-07-21Pre-sleep worry, intrusive thought, and cognitive arousal are associated with difficulty initiating sleep.Thought suppression is not consistently effective, and the review does not validate this exact web flow.
SRC-015Checking email less frequently reduces stress (2015)DOI: 10.1016/j.chb.2014.11.005Computers in Human BehaviorReviewed source from the kokekoke research SQLite database (SRC-015).primary studyLevel: Bwww.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S07475632140058102026-07-21In a short experiment, limiting email checks was associated with lower self-reported stress than checking without restriction.It does not establish long-term effects, sleep benefits, or that all notifications should be disabled.
SRC-021Bedtime procrastination: introducing a new area of procrastination (2014)DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00611Frontiers in PsychologyReviewed source from the kokekoke research SQLite database (SRC-021).primary studyLevel: Bpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24994989/2026-07-21Bedtime procrastination was defined as failing to go to bed at the intended time without external circumstances preventing it.The survey does not establish a treatment for insomnia or for sleep loss caused by external constraints.
SRC-027After-hours work-related ICT use and employee well-being: a systematic review (2026)DOI: 10.5271/sjweh.4277Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & HealthReviewed source from the kokekoke research SQLite database (SRC-027).systematic reviewLevel: Apmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13147545/2026-07-21After-hours work-technology boundaries appear to depend on context, flexibility, supervisor support, and more than policy wording alone.The evidence was limited and heterogeneous; it does not show that one individual notification setting solves organizational availability pressure.
SRC-028Batching smartphone notifications can improve well-being (2019)DOI: 10.1016/j.chb.2019.07.016Computers in Human BehaviorReviewed source from the kokekoke research SQLite database (SRC-028).primary studyLevel: Bwww.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S07475632193025962026-07-21In a randomized field experiment, receiving notifications in three predictable batches improved several self-reported attention and well-being outcomes compared with usual delivery.The experiment covered general smartphone notifications, not work-only alerts, and fully disabling notifications increased some anxiety and fear of missing out.
SRC-029Beyond the Buzz: Investigating the Effects of a Notification-Disabling Intervention on Smartphone Behavior and Digital Well-Being (2025)DOI: 10.1080/15213269.2024.2334025Media PsychologyReviewed source from the kokekoke research SQLite database (SRC-029).primary studyLevel: Bwww.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15213269.2024.23340252026-07-21Turning off notifications alone may not remove habitual manual checking or reliably improve digital well-being.It does not show that notifications never matter; it cautions against treating a settings change as the whole intervention.
SRC-026A field experiment on the effects of weekly planning behaviour on work engagement, unfinished tasks, rumination, and cognitive flexibility (2023)DOI: 10.1111/joop.12430Journal of Occupational and Organizational PsychologyReviewed source from the kokekoke research SQLite database (SRC-026).primary studyLevel: Bpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38515981/2026-07-21Time-bounded weekly planning may reduce unfinished tasks and weekly rumination.It does not establish the added effect of doing this every evening.
SRC-035Implementation intentions and goal achievement: A meta-analysis of effects and processes (2006)DOI: 10.1016/S0065-2601(06)38002-1Advances in Experimental Social PsychologyReviewed source from the kokekoke research SQLite database (SRC-035).meta analysisLevel: Awww.socmot.uni-konstanz.de/publications/implementation-intentions-and-goal-achievement-meta-analysis-effects-and-processes2026-07-21Linking a specific cue to a specific first action can support action initiation in general.The same effect size cannot be assumed for switching from work to personal time.
SRC-034A mental contrasting and implementation intentions intervention for bedtime procrastination: two randomised trials (2020)DOI: 10.1080/08870446.2019.1652753Psychology & HealthReviewed source from the kokekoke research SQLite database (SRC-034).primary studyLevel: Bpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31403339/2026-07-21Two randomized trials found short-term improvements in self-reported bedtime procrastination from mental contrasting with implementation intentions.The studies do not establish insomnia treatment, objective sleep improvement, or effectiveness for external sleep constraints.
MLR-SLEEP-001The effects of bedtime writing on difficulty falling asleep: A polysomnographic study comparing to-do lists and completed activity lists (2018)DOI: 10.1037/xge0000374Journal of Experimental Psychology: GeneralPrimary study added during the Mind Loop Reset evidence review.primary studyLevel: Bpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29058942/2026-07-21In 57 healthy adults aged 18–30, a specific five-minute bedtime to-do list was associated with faster sleep onset than writing completed activities in one sleep-lab night.This small study does not establish insomnia treatment, long-term benefit, or the effect of a general emotional brain dump.
MLR-BREATH-001Slow breathing for reducing stress: The effect of extending exhale (2023)DOI: 10.1016/j.ctim.2023.102937Complementary Therapies in MedicinePrimary randomized trial added during the Mind Loop Reset evidence review.primary studyLevel: Bpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36871835/2026-07-21Regular slow-breathing practice was associated with lower self-reported psychological stress in healthy adults over 12 weeks.A longer exhale was not significantly better than an equal inhale/exhale ratio; the study did not test a one-to-three-minute web pacer, box breathing, or 4-7-8 as superior patterns.
