2. Screen Time Before Bed: The Blue Light Villain
Scrolling through your phone before bed might feel relaxing, but it’s actually keeping you awake.
Why It’s a Problem:
- Blue light disrupts melatonin, the sleep hormone.
- Your brain stays active, making it hard to wind down.
The Fix:
Put devices away at least 30 minutes before sleep. Try reading a book or listening to soothing music instead.
3. Afternoon Coffee: The Hidden Sleep Thief
That afternoon cup of coffee could be why you’re still awake at 2 AM.
Why It’s a Problem:
- Caffeine stays in your system for hours.
- It stimulates your nervous system and keeps you alert.
The Fix:
Cut off caffeine by 2 PM. Opt for a calming herbal tea like chamomile in the evening.
