This Popular Habit TRIPLES Your Risk of Poor Sleep!

If you’re battling sleep issues, you probably suffer from a circadian rhythm problem.

And no amount of Big Pharma’s sleep aids—or even supplemental melatonin—will fix it.

Case in point…

Researchers identified one bedtime habit you’re doing every night that could increase your risk of poor sleep three-fold.

Fortunately, there’s an easy, drug-free fix.

Do you lie in bed, scrolling on your phone before turning in for the night?

If you do, I’ve got good news and bad news.

First, the bad.

In a recent study, researchers found that people who scrolled on their phones before bed were likelier to have poor sleep quality than those who didn’t.

The more time spent on their phones, the higher their chances of having a sleep problem.

• Those who spent 16 to 31 minutes scrolling had a two-fold increased risk of poor sleep quality.
• Those who scrolled for 31-45 minutes had more than a three-fold increased risk.

A study like this shows correlation and not direct cause and effect.

But to me, it’s clearly just MORE evidence of how harmful blue light is to your health.

Blue light from your phone, TV, and computer disrupts your circadian rhythm and suppresses your melatonin production, the hormone your body needs for quality sleep.

The good news is that when you reduce your blue light exposure at night, your circadian rhythm starts to normalize—and you can finally get some quality shut-eye.

The less you use your cellphone, the better… for many reasons. But if you can’t live without it during the day, I recommend at least disconnecting at night.

I NEVER take mine into my bedroom. I don’t even charge it in there.

I suggest you do the same. Charge your phone somewhere other than your bedroom and you’ll soon be on your way to enjoying a good night’s rest.

P.S. The sleep aid mistake you CAN’T afford to make.
