why light time is the right time for sleep, too...
When it comes to improving sleep, we often focus on nighttime being the right time, but our actions and habits during the day can impact our sleep quality just as much. From when we first see sunlight to the time we drink our coffee, so much of what we do and experience during the day directly impacts the way we sleep at night. The body’s circadian rhythm relies on factors during the day that prepares the body for better sleep, and how and when you are exposed to daylight has a huge effect on your nocturnal patterns. Find out how to manage your 'light time' for a better 'night time'.
