How Lights Affect Sleep
Every person has a circadian rhythm that functions as an internal clock to regulate your 24-hour sleep schedule. Sensory factors like daylight and dusk have a significant impact on this. Our minds are genetically hardwired to link darkness with shuteye; as night falls, bodies create higher melatonin, the sleep hormone. However, studies have found that intense lighting before bedtime suppresses melatonin production.
Spend lots of time in natural sunlight every day and decrease the lighting to obtain restful sleep and a balanced circadian rhythm. Also, the blue light from laptops and phones can make it difficult to relax, so avoid the midnight doom scrolling and turn off all the lighting at least one or two hours before bed.
