Sleep tip: Dimming the lights as you wind down for bed will tell your body to start producing melatonin, the sleep hormone.
I never should have pitched a story on good sleep hygiene (AKA a person’s sleep environment and the habits that exist around sleep). Mostly because I know just enough about this topic to be sure I have neither. On an average evening: I hop into my bed, which has a “home office” within spitting distance piled high with papers and charging computers (not good). I then snuggle under the covers with my phone (bad) and watch TV shows on it for hours (very bad) and then charge it next to my bed (terrible), but not before I take one last look at the news headlines (not great either).
