New Delhi: Since the advent of OTT platforms and social media, people's screen time has increased rapidly. Although it is a good timepass and refreshes people's mood, some people also use it to sleep. People who do not sleep well or fall asleep early, watch TV for a long time before sleeping and fall asleep while watching.
However, excessive use of screens is harmful for us. The blue light emitted from TV disrupts the sleep hormone melatonin in our body and also affects the sleep cycle. Due to this, the eyes become weak and due to lack of sleep the overall health also gets affected. In such a situation, you can avoid watching TV while sleeping by adopting these 5 easy methods-
music
Music is a great therapy for both body and mind. According to a study, listening to music while sleeping at night increases the level of oxytonin in the body. It calms the autonomic nervous system, reduces anxiety, lowers blood pressure and helps in getting good deep sleep. Make a good playlist of songs with soft beats at night and play it before sleeping.
audiobook
In audiobooks you can listen to books instead of reading them. In this you can lie down and listen to interesting stories and with this you forget your current problems, stay away from stress and get good sleep.
podcast
Like audiobooks, in podcasts too, after listening to a good podcast, you get mesmerized by the interesting and inspiring talks of the guests and fall into a deep sleep with positive thoughts.
warm bath
Bathing with lukewarm water naturally cools down the core temperature of the body. Apart from this, it also balances blood pressure, which leads to comfortable sleep.
Attention
Meditation done before sleeping can also be called mindfulness meditation. In this, the person thinks only about the present, takes long deep breaths, due to which the body gets adequate amount of oxygen and gets good sleep.
