If you have trouble falling asleep or getting restful sleep, be sure to eliminate all sources of artificial light for one hour before bedtime.
One hour before you sleep, dim your lights and eliminate any sources of unnatural light. This means refraining from watching television, using a computer, smart phone, Kindle or tablet for one hour before bed. The light of the screens can interfere with your circadian rhythm and prevent you from getting quality, restful sleep. Also try to get outside into bright, natural light shortly after waking in the morning.
Yours in Health,
