Improve Your Environment to Get Rid of Sleep Interrupters  -       To have a good sleep, you need to eliminate or manage the amount of light in your room.  -       Your circadian clock will be disrupted if you're not managing light properly. Start dimming the lights in your house or create some ambient lighting so you can see where you're going. -       You can use red light bulbs that help as well.
