If you’ve been having trouble getting some shut-eye it might be time to shut down. The blue light emitted by the screens of electronic devices can disrupt your body’s natural circadian rhythm, making it harder to fall asleep. To get a good night’s rest, experts recommend eliminating screen time 2 hours before bedtime so that the brain has enough time for relaxation without electronic stimulation which might keep someone awake longer than they would want. A good night’s sleep can affect everything about your body, from how you recover from injuries or illness and even your mood. So set yourself up for a better nights sleep by reducing your screen time at night.
