The blue light suppresses melatonin "the hormone of darkness" making your body think it's time to get up and play.
(It's basically like drinking a Red Bull energy drink.)
Try turning off all blue light emitting electronics at least 2 hours before bedtime.
See how much I love you, dear readers. I am telling you to turn off the computer!
Just be sure to read my blog earlier in the day and we will all be happy!

You cannot tear me away from the soft, cold glow of my precious electronics! Not you or anyone else!
You are a delightful font of valuable information :D
Luckily I'm too lazy to tote my laptop to the bedroom...
"The hormone of darkness." I love this new phrase. Thank you for expanding my vocabulary. But I will use it to mean something else. Is that wrong of me?
I think you're right with this Miss B. I've been reading less and sleeping better. I make myself turn off at 10pm, then read a bit. Sometimes it means I have to do a mad catch up but it means I actually enjoy it more when I read as well as I'm not knackered.
Happy New Year to you and your hunky bloke, gorgeous. xoxoxo
I just read this post in bed with my laptop. And I'm kind of an insomniac.
inyourwater: Interesting fetish you got there.
stephanie: See, lazy can be good!
Fantastic: Use it however you like. I didn't make it up!! :)
Jo: Yeah, sleep is good. And energy for sex is even better!
Rima: See, now I'm torn. I want you to read my blog, but I also want you to sleep. Hmm. How about you sleep tomorrow instead? ;)
Of all the research and reading I've done on circadian rhythms, sleep disorders, and insomnia (all a result of 20 years in emergency services), this is one bit of information I've not heard about.
I had read to limit/cut TV watching before bedtime, but I didn't know it was about the blue light spectrum. I thought it was because of the hyped up action. quick edits, and subject matter.
Now, this makes sense and explains why afterhours on Twitter is so popular.
Thanks!
