Blue Light

Naturally improve your sleep by avoiding blue light

(NewsTarget) In order to fall asleep, the human body produces melatonin, a hormone created in the pineal gland. Melatonin allows the body to relax enough
to sleep, allowing it to follow the natural circadian rhythm. However, some environmental factors can interfere with the production of melatonin and make
falling asleep naturally a highly difficult task. One such factor is blue light.

Why is light such a crucial factor? Before technology and electricity, the human body relied upon environmental light to determine when it was time to
sleep and when it was time to wake up. In today's world there are alarm clocks, Cell Phone s, and other devices that dictate when it is time to get out of
bed, but the body has yet to adapt to these technological changes. Despite the fact that you may have depended upon an alarm clock for your entire life,
your body is still capable of matching its sleep cycle to the natural cycle of the environment.

Blue light is a part of the light spectrum that is especially visible during the day, making its appearance a cue to the body to wake up. No matter how
tired you are, your body may be limited in its production of melatonin if you are exposed to blue light. It follows, then, that avoiding blue light before
going to bed is a great way to allow your body to produce the natural levels of melatonin that it needs to fall asleep.

Though this sounds straightforward, many of the technological gadgets that people use emit the blue light that reduces melatonin production. For example,
the screens on computers and television sets can interfere with natural sleep habits because they emit the blue light that limits the

melatonin

produced in the brain. In an effort to sleep peacefully, and fall asleep faster, people should avoid using their computers and watching television before
bed.

Though watching a sitcom or playing solitaire before falling asleep may be a habit, picking up a book or having a quiet conversation with your spouse
before drifting off will be more conducive to a naturally restful

sleep

. Should it be necessary for you to use a computer, though, f.lux is a free downloadable program that can make your computer screen's blue light levels
fluctuate, depending upon the time of day. This will help ease your

body

back into the natural circadian rhythm even if you have to work late or get an earlier than normal start.

The health benefits of getting an ideal amount of sleep are numerous, but avoiding blue

light

can also bring about other health improvements, including the reduction of ADHD symptoms, the avoidance of postpartum depression, the prevention of
Seasonal Affective Disorder, and even a reduced risk of cancer.

Getting enough sleep is a task that challenges many people, but doing what you can to help your body rest naturally can greatly

improve

the quality of the sleep that you are able to get. By avoiding blue light in the evening and right before bed, you can help your body produce the optimal
amount of melatonin and you can fall asleep in a natural way. Additionally, you will reap all of the benefits that a healthy sleep cycle provides.
