Sleep like a log

‘Falling asleep’ sounds effortless and ideally it is. When we’re healthy and have physically exercised fully that day, when our bodies aren’t challenged with toxins and our minds can rest easy then sleep comes quickly.

Does that sound like you?

If not, you can take steps to change that.

Melatonin is what starts the transition to sleep. It is produced by the pituitary gland which functions well in the absence of electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs), blue light and chemical toxins.

Take action

Have a look around your bedroom and your home and count the devices that use EMFs. Count again which electronic equipment emits blue light (from TVs, computers, phones, LCD displays, electronic clocks). All of those things will be disrupting the proper function of your pituitary and your ability to secrete melatonin – and therefore to fall asleep easily.

You want that equipment off or physically out of your bedroom at night.
• Turn wifi off at night
• Turn your mobile phone off
• At a minimum get your mobile phone out of your room or put it in airplane mode
• Finish using screens 90 minutes before bedtime
• Change light bulbs in your bedroom for warm orange or red bulbs (the opposite to blue light, it mimics firelight and candlelight)

Make your devices more human-friendly

Get ahead of the game by using a blue light blocking app on your computer and phone. These reduce the blue light emitted by the device after dusk in your time zone. They are free! (Click on the links)

Think of it as collaborating with your body. All the building blocks are there, if you can create the environment for your body – in this case your pituitary – to work as it’s designed to, then you’re a step closer to a good night’s sleep.
