Major Habits To Kick For A Good Night's Sleep

Bye, Bye Blue Screen

As a society, we have come to depend on our cell phones and tablets a lot. Some individuals can't go to the bathroom without them and some carry their cell phones from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to bed. It's part of the 24/7 connection culture we've bought into. But the blue screen light from the digital equipment can actually affect sleep patterns negatively. Researchers have found individuals who use their digital equipment just before bed have far more sleep pattern problems. Their recommendation is to stop looking at screens at least a half hour before bed and to actually put devices aside far from the bedside to avoid temptation. When electronic use is unavoidable, experts recommend changing the light and filtering settings to a red tone rather than blue to help mitigate the negative effects.
