The environment you sleep in plays a big role in sleep quality, and factors like temperature, bright lights, and blue light can all disrupt your ability to get restorative rest. Here’s how each of these factors can interfere with sleep: Temperature: Your body’s core temperature naturally drops when you’re preparing to sleep, signaling that it’s time to rest. A room that’s too hot or too cold can interfere with this natural process. Ideal sleeping temperatures range from 60°F to 67°F (15°C to 20°C). Bright Lights in the Room: Exposure to bright lights, especially during the evening, can interfere with the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. Bright lights tell your brain that it’s still daytime and that it should stay alert. This can delay sleep onset and make it harder to stay asleep throughout the night. Even small amounts of light (like from a clock or a phone screen) can have an impact. Blue Light: Blue light, which is emitted by screens (phones, tablets, computers, and TVs), is particularly disruptive because it mimics the wavelengths of natural daylight. This can suppress melatonin production even more than regular bright light, making it harder for your body to transition into sleep. The exposure to blue light in the hour or two before bed can significantly delay falling asleep, leading to shorter sleep duration and lower-quality sleep overall. Which of these factors are you mindful of when going to bed each night? Comment below.
