Do you like to read before going to bed at night because it helps you to relax? Reading is another popular way to relax. Pick something that you enjoy reading, something with a nice pace and nothing too scary. Curl up in a comfy spot and read away. Before you know it, you will be ready for bed and relaxed enough to go right to sleep.
Do you read from a book or one of the new electronic e-readers like iPad or Kindle? According to sleep experts, the iPad’s bright LCD display could hinder you body’s natural ability to create melatonin the hormone that controls your internal sleep/wake cycle. The Kindle and other e-ink gadgets won’t disrupt your sleep cycle. The reason for this is due to the bright light confuses your body, hampering the production of melatonin and causes sleeplessness. The Kindle has no back light because it simulates the look of an actual printed page, therefore, it doesn’t have an effect your Circadian Rhythm. Electronic gadgets that emit light should not be used prior to bedtime.
If you've watched any late-night TV, or use other light emitting devices, including cell phones they tell the brain to stay alert. Devices that are held close to your face amplify the effect verses a TV across the room or a bedside lamp. That is why Kindle is better for your sleep.
