The pervasive use of technology in modern life has a significant impact on sleep. The blue light emitted by screens interferes with the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep-wake cycles. Reducing screen time and implementing a digital curfew at least an hour before bed can mitigate these effects. Utilizing blue light filters and engaging in technology-free activities, such as reading or journaling, can also promote better sleep. Understanding the relationship between technology and sleep allows you to make conscious choices that support healthy sleep patterns.

Consistency is key in regulating the body's internal clock and improving sleep quality. Establishing a regular sleep schedule involves going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, even on weekends. This routine helps synchronize your circadian rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up naturally. Incorporating a relaxing pre-sleep routine, such as taking a warm bath or practicing gentle yoga, can signal to your body that it's time to wind down. By prioritizing a consistent sleep schedule, you create a stable foundation for restful sleep.
