Quality sleep is crucial for health and balance, and light intake plays a big role in your sleep cycle and your circadian rhythms.

Healthy Light Intake is Essential for Better Sleep

Don’t overlook the importance of light for your sleep quality. Your body and brain respond to the light you’re exposed to during the day, and some kinds of light are better than others when it comes to your sleep quality. You should absolutely try to get outside every day and take in natural sunlight. Blue light from screens, however, is extremely bright and can trick your brain and disrupt your sleep hormones, especially at night plus tips on how to limit blue light and sleep better.

Limit blue light, especially at night: 

Blue light has been a big advancement for screen technology that’s made our phones and computers so powerful. But this bright, artificial light can have major negative effects on our sleep quality. Blue light is so bright that it can trick our brains and bodies into thinking it’s time to be alert and awake. Blue light from a screen has a very high color temperature. It’s even brighter than standing outside on a sunny day. If you look at your phone in bed, your brain is getting the message that it needs to be alert. Trying to sleep right after that can be difficult, even when you’re tired. To sleep better, limit the blue light, especially at night.
