Health Tip: If Lifestyle Interferes With Sleep
By LadyLively on July 12, 2017
Your evening routine may be affecting how easily you fall asleep and stay asleep.
The National Sleep Foundation says problematic habits include:
- Eating a late dinner, especially a heavy one. Doing so can trigger heartburn, which may affect sleep.
- Watching TV in bed, as the device’s blue light may interfere with your body’s melatonin production.
- Going to bed with a smartphone. Checking email or social media can make you feel stressed when you’re trying to wind down.
- Eating a sugary bedtime snack. Coming down from a sugar high may wake you in the middle of the night.
