Those EMF’s are more powerful than we realize and will interfere with any good rhythms or vibrations happening! Clear space = clear mind! (5) Try reducing ambient light and shut off as many electronic devices as possible, including your WiFi routers. This makes it even harder for us to clear our head at night. If you are hanging out, texting, watching movies/shows, or stressing in our bed then our brain begins to associate wakefulness and activities with laying in bed. Our brain, which is sometimes much more active than we may notice, will pickup on how much time we spend in bed and what we are doing while in bed. What if we told you that spending too much time in bed is actually very counteractive to a healthy and deep night of sleep!? It’s our safe pace and cozy haven that always makes us feel better. We think about them throughout the day and can’t wait to get back to them after a long or even short holiday. Most of us love our beds, and I mean REALLY love our beds. Make sure to avoid bright screens for 2-3 hours before bed, use dim or red toned lights at night to help increase melatonin production, wear blue light blockers if it’s essential that you use technology at night, and make sure to get outside into the natural sunlight as much as possible throughout the day! Melatonin is most strongly affected by blue light, as opposed to other lights, and directly suppresses our circadian rhythm (4). Being mindful throughout the day of our screen time will help us find more rest in the long run. This is especially concerning in younger populations how have been raised in an intimate relationship with technology.
Blue light literally increases the oxidative stress and metabolite accumulation in our eyes, which is why they end up bloodshot and strained at the end of the day (2)īlue light exposure accumulates over the day, so the more time we spend on our tech everyday the more activated our sympathetic state gets (fight or flight!). I got bad news for ya, they make getting good sleep much much harder!īlue light is the most strenuous and stimulating frequency of light for the human eye, this might make a lot of sense to you if you’ve ever gotten a mean headache and a tight scalp from a day of working on the computer screen (1). As we develop more as a society, the more we rely on gadgets and technology throughout the day, because, well……. Now this might be a common one a lot of people have heard of, but it can’t be iterated enough.
