Do we need more sleep as the winter months roll on? Studies show that we
do! Doctors at Wisconsin state found that if you honor your circadian rhythm,
which responds to light and dark changes in your environment, you will find
yourself falling asleep earlier and waking earlier too. In the wintertime when the
sun sets around 6 p.m., use this as a reminder to wind down. Leave your work at
the office, keep the lights in your home dim and give into those feelings of
sleepiness. And most of all – don’t check your phone or computer. Just say no to
that blue light that affects sleep. Creating a sanctuary of calm in your bedroom
with cozy blankets and your favorite pillow will have you dreaming in no time.
