Is "THIS" how you feel everyday around mid to late
afternoon?
There is a new phrase out there called the "Electronic
Sundown" It is a practice where you turn off all of the electronics
in your home and prepare for a great night's sleep. Yes, I said it, A GREAT
NIGHT"S SLEEP! The one thing so many people pray for every night at
bedtime while they are on their cellphones and computers in bed with the TV on
in the background!
Melatonin, the hormone used for a peaceful night's sleep,
requires darkness and the bright light of your electronics fool your body into
thinking it is still daylight, in turn decreasing the melatonin production that
is required to wind your body down for a good night's sleep!In a world of
people that seem to never be able to do ANYTHING without their cellphones, it
is no wonder one of the biggest complaints is "I have a hard time
sleeping" or "I did not sleep well at all last night" and due to
this many people take sleeping pills to sleep and this may not be the answer,
they can cause side effects and latent effect illnesses too!
These poor sleep
habits are also associated with chronic diseases such as heart disease and
diabetes, so TURN those cellphones off at bedtime!
Try this healthy habit for
one full week and see if you feel more rested, alert and healthy!
Electronic Sundown is the act of turning off ALL devises in your
home, your TV, computer, cellphone at least one hour before bedtime.
