Hey everybody. Beautiful sunny day today. Thank goodness. Got my hat on. Sitting in the sun is fantastic. All right, let's talk about sleep. I want to give you a quick thought on how you can improve your sleep. Quick habit or breaking of a habit that you can do to get better sleep at night. So our eyes are oriented to the sun, the sunlight as a biological clock.
Our skin as well. We get The frequency of light and it helps us to be able to understand in our hormones and in our bodies, our biology, what time of day it is. Not literally the hour, but the relationship to when we should be awake and when we should be asleep. So if you are on your, your smartphone or your computer or even a TV screen at night, And you're, you're taking in that light frequency at night, which is usually a lot of blue light.
And even if it's not a lot of blue light, it's still confusing to your, to your brain, to your nervous system because you're taking in light when it's supposed to be dark outside. And that is kind of messing with your circadian clock or the clock that helps you know inside your body when you should be awake and when you're asleep.
So the thing that you can do, It's to make sure that you avoid any smartphone usage, any laptop usage, any movie watching, TV watching, anything like that for at least 30 minutes before you go to bed. Uh, even better would be longer. So like an hour or an hour or two before you go to bed, at least 30 minutes.
Don't look at it when you're in the bed. Don't look at it right before you go to bed. And that will help you be able to orient your internal mechanisms. towards going to sleep. This can also relate to just the lights around your house. Uh, unfortunately a lot of light in our houses today uses LED, LED bright blue LED lights.
You want to avoid that too. So the ideal thing is just to be in darkness for 30 minutes or so before you start trying to go to bed. And that will help you be able to have even better sleep, stay asleep longer and have a more restful night. All right, sweet dreams. Good night.
