So you want to sleep
better at night, fight insomnia and basically sleep
the way you slept 10 years ago? You need to learn
to Master The
Light!
The human body is
regulated by what is called the circadian rhythm
which controls many things during the day, including
the secretion of sleep hormones.
With the modernization of our society what we have done is that we have disturbed our natural body rhythms, especially our circadian rhythm.
Working inside buildings with low light during the day, decreasing the amount of daylight we receive and being exposed the artificial light at night have completely messed up the way our brains function and created many sleep problems.
The steps to solve that are simple. Here how to Master The Light :
1- Make sure you get more light during the day. Natural light is always better
2- At night, do the opposite: avoid the exposure to bright lights. Dim them down in your home, especially the last few hours before bed.
3- Stay away from computer screens at night. The brightness of the screen will trigger your brain into thinking it is still daylight and you will not properly secrete sleep hormones.
4- The same goes for the TV
5- Light proof your room. Even the faintest light in your bedroom can compromise your sleep. Turn your alarm clock against the wall, put a rolled up towel under the door.
Light is a major sleep regulating factor, yet most people dismiss it. Learn to Master The Light instead of popping pills...here is an idea!
