Unplug at Night for Better Sleep
Almost everybody these days uses computer-related technology in some way, shape, or form. Modern-day smartphones are essentially tiny little computers; while the brick-sized cell phones of the 1980s and 1990s only made phone calls, now you can play games, write, and both watch and make movies with them.
And while they can be a useful tool of communication that is becoming more and more essential to have for work, socializing, and even getting from place to place, there is such a thing as using them too much.
Losing Sleep and its Effect on Your Fatigue
Getting enough sleep is essential for making it through the decreasing length of daytime. Every day until the Winter Solstice, which is usually on December 20 or 21, the days keep getting incrementally shorter by a varying amount of time that depends on where you live. You could be losing anywhere from as little as one and a half minutes a day to as much as much as 15 minutes a day. The closer you live to the Arctic Circle, the more minutes per day you lose from fall to winter.
So, better start the habit to unplug at night to get better sleep, which means turning off your cell phone (or keeping it away from you if you need it as an alarm clock) and turning off the TV.
See you tomorrow for more fall self-care tips ;-)
