VIDEO: Optimizing Sleep Part 6: Not Tired When You Should be Going to Bed? Try These!

Not feeling tired when it’s time for bed?

One possible culprit is Circadian Rhythm Disruption. I used to struggle with this a lot until I discovered this simple hack.

In my last video, I reviewed the science behind how lights and technology are negatively affecting our pineal gland’s ability to release melatonin and trigger sleep. I went over how a free app, F.Lux, can mitigate the negative effects of blue light from your screens.

But this doesn’t stop the problem of other sources of blue light. This not only includes your ceiling lights and lamps, it also includes the light your eyes are exposed to when you open your fridge or turn on the lights in your bathroom when you brush your teeth.

In this 6th video in my Optimizing Sleep series, I review how you can protect your eyes from blue light from not only screens, but other sources of blue light.
