Blue light and Sleep

TV, Mobiles, Ipad, Laptops, Macs, Smart Watches, LED lighting and fluorescent lighting – (basically all LED screens) emit blue light. Blue light can slow or halt the production of melatonin, the hormone that tells our brain that it’s time for sleep. It is also believed that blue light is also harmful to your eyes since the eye natural filter cannot provide sufficient protection.

Understanding the Science of Sleep

We all associate sleep with resting the physical body, we sleep because we are physically tired. So periods of physical inactivity, rest can explain why we feel physically better. But why do we feel mentally better ? Why does our brain feel fresher after a good sleep?

One of the most famous talks on sleep is by Jeff Lliff at Ted, a Neuroscientist. He studies explains why we have a “clear head” after we sleep and it is not what you think! Why the brain is so unique in the sleep process.

Hopefully all this information will bring us closer to understanding how to have a good sleep.
