Christiana Donohue

Christiana Donohue leads Product and Design at BetterSleep, where she helps shape experiences designed to support better sleep and broader wellbeing. Her work combines her professional background in consumer health and wellness with a lifelong interest in how physical health, mental wellbeing, and performance are connected. That interest started early. As a competitive figure skater, Christiana learned firsthand how controlled breathing, visualization, and mindfulness can help regulate stress and support performance under pressure. Her perspective on sleep also comes from personal experience. During a multi-year IVF journey, she went through periods of insomnia and anxiety and became much more intentional about the practices that supported her sleep, resilience, and overall wellbeing. That experience deepened her appreciation for the role that stress management, healthy routines, a positive mindset, and restorative sleep play in getting through difficult periods of life. Christiana sees wellness as an ongoing, holistic practice, not something limited to sleep or nutrition alone. Her work focuses on how people manage stress, build healthy habits, care for their bodies and minds, and keep learning what helps them feel and function at their best. Areas of focus: Sleep and bedtime routines · Stress management · Breathing, visualization, and mindfulness techniques · Healthy habits and holistic wellness
