Sleep Problems
Researchers discovered that doing these things can help with sleep problems
Blue blocking glasses
Normal light in your house has lots of different colors in it. The blue light is the type that contributes most to telling your brain to stay awake.
To stop light from telling your brain to stay awake, you can turn out the lights at night before you want to go to sleep (including phones, televisions, and computers).
You can also buy "blue blocking" glasses, also known as "amber" glasses online, and wear them without taking them off 2 hours before you want to go to sleep until you turn the lights off. The glasses stop the blue light from keeping you awake so you can sleep better.
Exercise
Exercising helps people go to sleep and get high quality sleep. Walking, jogging, running, and weight lifting all help people sleep. Weight loss can also help people who are overweight get better sleep.
Exercising in the morning helps you wake up (it can even help you wake up more than coffee) and then helps you sleep later at night. Exercising in the evening will still help you sleep better.
Caffeine
Drinking coffee within 6 hours of when you want to go to sleep can make it harder to go to sleep and can make your sleep lower quality.
If you have trouble waking up in the morning you can buy caffeine gum online to help you get going. The caffeine gum helps you wake up within 12-18 minutes of chewing it. If using for a long time, it’s a good idea to check with your doctor about it.
Melatonin
Melatonin is a supplement you can buy without a prescription at pharmacies.
Taking 2-5 mg of melatonin at night before you want to go to sleep can help you get sleep schedule back to normal after it gets messed up, but scientists aren't sure if it's safe to take melatonin for longer than a month. If using for a long time, it’s a good idea to check with your doctor about it.
Cell Phones
People who use cells phones at night are more likely to have trouble sleeping. Parents can help children and teenagers get more sleep by limiting their access to or use of cell phones at night.
