Sleep Series – Week 2

The Science of Sleep Timing
Did you know your body runs on an internal 24-hour cycle called the circadian rhythm? This biological clock influences your sleep-wake cycle, body temperature, hormone levels, and even digestion.
Disrupting this clock — through irregular schedules, too much screen time, or artificial light — can delay melatonin release and throw off your ability to fall or stay asleep. Blue light from phones and TVs is a major disruptor, especially at night.
Establishing consistent sleep and wake times, reducing evening screen time, and dimming lights after sunset can help your body naturally prepare for rest.
According to the CDC, 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. don’t get enough sleep on a regular basis. Over time, this can lead to more than just fatigue — it’s linked to weight gain, depression, and chronic illness.
Simple Sleep Upgrades
- 💡 Limit blue light 1–2 hours before bed
- 🛏️ Keep your bedroom cool, quiet, and dark
- 📵 Set a consistent wind-down routine
- 🧘♀️ Try stretching, journaling, or deep breathing
- 🌿 Consider natural sleep aids (more in next week’s issue)
