Limit Screen Time to 2 Hours Before Bed

About

Limiting screen time to two hours before bed is a strategy to enhance sleep quality and reduce distractions. This practice addresses the impact of screens on the body's natural sleep-wake cycle, or circadian rhythm. Screens emit blue light, which can suppress melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep. By stopping screen time early, individuals can avoid this disruption and allow their bodies to produce melatonin naturally, promoting better sleep. Reducing screen time before bed also helps minimize stimulating content and notifications that can keep the brain active. This can lead to improved sleep quality, as the brain is able to relax and prepare for rest. Additionally, establishing a screen-free bedtime routine can signal to the body that it's time to sleep, improving overall sleep hygiene and contributing to better health and well-being.
