Let’s face it, now and more then ever electronics are a big part of our lives.
But here is why we shouldn’t have electronic devices like television, computers and cell phones turned on in our bedrooms.
It is proven by science that the use of electronic devices in the bedroom further disrupts the natural pattern of the sleep-wake cycle.
The light exposure negatively impacts sleep time, sleep quality and daytime alertness.
As adults we are subject to these influences and our children are particularly susceptible. So in order to keep a good health and productivity, here is what we should do:
- No TV and dim lights two hours before bed;
- Turn phones off or to silent at night;
- Change electronics for relaxation activities such as meditation or reading.
- Take time to prepare your sleep with hygiene rituals and bedtime routine.
Reducing electronics at night might be a little difficult at first, but the benefits of a good sleep and a healthier mind and body are worth the change.
