An hour and a half before bedtime, it is advisable not only to put gadgets out of sight, but also to dim the lights in the room.
Why you can't leave the light on at night
Sleeping in the light is really harmful. There is such a sleep hormone - melatonin.
It is very sensitive to light and is released in large quantities from 10-11 pm to 2-3 am.
When exposed to bright light, melatonin is destroyed and we fall asleep more slowly.
Resting in complete darkness is better for your health as it stimulates the release of the hormone melatonin, which helps you fall asleep.
Therefore, it is important for people who have problems falling asleep and often wake up at night to ensure complete darkness in the bedroom.
The bedroom should be well isolated from sounds - it is advisable to sleep in complete silence.
New research shows that people who are exposed to more light in the evening hours are more likely to develop mental disorders.
What happens if you don't sleep in complete darkness
Today, a lack of melatonin is considered one of the causes of cancer, depression, diabetes, obesity, decreased immunity and jet lag.
In addition, these factors bring with them a whole bunch of related problems that are unlikely to contribute to a happy life.
