TIP #3 – Get it Blacked out!!

Meaning – sleep in the DARK DARK!!

Light sources of any type can disrupt your sleep! Your skin actually has receptors that pick up on light, so if there’s light on in your room, your body sends messages to your brain that can interfere with sleep.

Using eye masks are not 100% effective, but they are better than nothing IF you must have a night light on.

Constant exposure to lights 24 horus a day is disrupting your sleep and room light exposure during sleep hours suppresses Melatonin by 50%.

What does Melatonin do besides help you sleep?
– improves immune system
– normalizes blood pressure
– reduces cancer cell and tumor growth
– decreases rick of osteoporosis and Alzheimers
– alleviates migraines
– improves thyroid function and insulin sensitivity.

You also want to create a sleep “sanctuary”

The bedroom should be for sleep, and sex. That’s it. Every room of your house should be designated for certain things.

There shouldn’t be any business work in the bed on the laptop or phone. Because the environment you create in the bedroom affects your sleep.

Keep the air circulating, with a fan, ac, or even an air ionizer. Some people like plants or a small rock waterfall to help them relax.

Make your bedroom as relaxing as possible!
