How is your sleep?

3 Steps to Healthy Sleep

Observe trends for 2 weeks
Identify and remove disruptors including cell phones, pets, food
If you can not sleep, get out of bed and do a non stimulating activity like reading

Eliminate all sources of light.

When light enters the eye it stimulates the pineal gland to suppress melatonin production. Melatonin helps us stay asleep. When the eye senses darkness the hypothalamus releases melatonin.

Sleep Trackers

There are some great sleep tracking tools and tech available for those who struggle to sleep. Smart watches are improving our ability to take control of sleep tracking. Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 has a great feature that monitors O2 while sleeping and detects snoring. These features can give insightful information to share with your doctor. Apple also has some wonderful smart watches.
