Ever tossed and turned after scrolling through endless memes right before bed? You might blame the villain of the digital age: blue light.Your internal clock and blue light
Our bodies have a natural internal clock called the circadian rhythm, influenced by light exposure. Sunlight, packed with blue light, wakes us up in the morning. This light suppresses melatonin, a hormone that makes us drowsy. At night, darkness prompts melatonin production, lulling us into dreamland.Electronic devices – phones, laptops, tablets – also emit blue light.
While the science on blue light’s exact sleep-wrecking effects is still evolving, getting a good night’s rest probably isn’t helped by late-night screen binges. Power down before bedtime: Give your brain a break from the stimulating blue light by turning off electronics at least an hour before sleep.

Chill out for sleep: Relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation can ease your mind and body into sleep mode.The post Does blue light really affect your sleep? appeared first on Woman and Home Magazine.
