Blue Light and the Bedroom Furniture

Do You Watch TV in Your Bedroom?

The Blue Light emitted from screens of various electronic devices like TVs, smartphones, and tablets have a few benefits. First off, blue light is environmentally friendly compared to other luminescent sources. Second off, it helps stimulate your mind by making you more concentrated and attentive and it also helps reaction times. However, there is a downside to it when mixed with nighttime behaviors. For instance, all the benefits that you get from it make you feel more stimulated and awake. So, when it's time to sleep, your brain might be working a little harder. Have you ever gone to sleep and your mind is racing? If so, Were you cruising facebook or reading something on your tablet before you closed your eyes? If the answer is yes, then the cause of your problems might stem from getting too much blue light right before sleep.

Pretty much any light will hinder your body's ability to produce melatonin while you sleep. Anything from the streetlight outside to the night light you use if you have to get up in the middle of the night can have an adverse effect on your sleeping pattern. Melatonin is the hormone that your body produces to help you sleep. It also helps the body's antioxidant defenses and regulates blood pressure. Since the ack of sleep can lead to high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, and decreased brain function, it may be a good idea to try to keep away from any electronic devices for a while before bedtime. In fact, some experts believe that the bedroom should only be used for sleeping and not much else so your brain only associates that room with sleep.
