It’s not news that a good night’s sleep can help increase productivity. However, our constantly connected lifestyles aren’t exactly conducive to this. Sleep deprivation can have a major impact on your overall health, energy level and focus.
While checking your email (or the news or Facebook) right after your head hits the pillow might make you feel as if you are getting the most out of every day, the potentially negative effects on your circadian rhythm can ultimately have the opposite effect. If you believe you’re getting enough sleep, but still find yourself fatigued during the day, blue light exposure is likely the culprit.
What Is Blue light?
Blue light is a type of light that tells our bodies to be awake. We absorb it through our skin and eyes. It also causes the pineal gland to cease melatonin production. While many people think of melatonin as a supplement sold at health food stores and pharmacies, it’s actually a hormone our bodies produce naturally.
Where Does Blue Light Come From?
