This Month’s Sleep Tip

Here’s this month’s sleep tip!
We hope all you researchers find this useful for your daily sleep.

Make Your Entire House A Bit Dark in the Evening

Our biological clock is managed by a “master clock” in our brains. Seeing bright light at night throws off this master clock and interferes with sleep.

Also, spending time around bright light before going to bed may block our bodies’ production of melatonin and make it difficult to fall asleep naturally.

We humans are diurnal animals and light itself has a wakening effect on us.

So, we should try to lower the lights a bit in our living rooms and around our homes at night as we prepare to move on towards bedtime.
And we should try to keep our bedrooms as dark as possible when we sleep.

Dim footlights or nightlights are OK to leave on.
Proper regulation of light leads to healthy sleep.
Working in dim lighting does not deteriorate your vision, unless you have been looking at nearby objects over an extended period of time.
