How To Get A Higher Quality Sleep At Night

Reduce Blue Light At Night

The blue light that comes from many of the screens we have come to frequent before bed including phones, computers, televisions, or tablets has been found to be detrimental to sleep quality. The blue light these devices produce suppresses the body's natural production of melatonin, resulting in poor sleep quality. Besides, many of the shows and things we watch and look at during the late hours of the day end up being more stimulating than relaxing, which further negatively impacts the quality of sleep. When you do go to bed, make sure the room is especially dark, utilizing heavy blackout curtains or a sleep mask if you must. It is a good idea to also cover up electronics that might produce any extra light. If you do insist on using your phone or computer before bed consider turning the brightness down and using a blue light filtering program to lessen their negative impact. Some of these devices even have 'night modes' built in to help reduce blue light automatically, provided you turn the setting on. If you work to reduce blue light at night, you’ll likely find you will rest better!
