A conditional evening in 2020
Jade Wu’s personal account on Profoundly Pointless began with a condition: the evening she described depended on her child’s sleep. On the interview page dated August 19, 2020, she listed a shower, water and a small snack, followed by activities including reading or journaling, time with her husband and an audiobook.

Who is Jade Wu?
Jade Wu is a sleep clinician, researcher, and author of Hello Sleep: The Science and Art of Overcoming Insomnia Without Medications. She earned her PhD at Boston University and completed residency and fellowship training at Duke University School of Medicine. Her work also includes public education about sleep.
The account names activities rather than a set of products: no audiobook service or notebook brand is specified. Nor does the passage give a starting time or establish that every activity happened every night. It is a snapshot of the evening available to her then. Personal-routine passage
Writing and phone use in 2025
A later interview page, dated March 25, 2025, adds a different view. Wu said she had written her book between eight and eleven at night, while describing family demands that pulled her schedule earlier. At 18:19 she reported using her phone in bed and scrolling, without identifying an app or duration. Publisher transcript, 15:40 and 18:19
That later appearance does not establish whether the shower, audiobook or journaling continued. The two accounts belong to different moments; combining them into a single permanent routine would add something Wu did not say.
