10 Tips to Help You Sleep Faster at Night

8. Avoiding Blue Light Before Bed.

Blue light emitted by electronic devices like phones, tablets, and computers can interfere with your body’s natural production of melatonin, the sleep hormone.

• Use blue light-blocking glasses or install blue light filters on your devices.
• Avoid screens 1-2 hours before bedtime, as exposure to blue light can delay sleep onset.
• Dim the lights in your home in the evening to help your body transition into sleep mode.
  
  Harvard Medical School has found that blue light exposure delays sleep by up to 90 minutes. Reducing screen time before bed is a simple but effective strategy to help your body prepare for sleep.
