Sleep

Hey hey🌙💤

It's generally better to sleep without the TV on. Here's why: the light and noise from the TV can disrupt your sleep cycle and make it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. Plus, the content on TV can be stimulating and keep your brain active when it should be winding down 🥱

Instead, try creating a calm and peaceful sleep environment. You can listen to relaxing music or sounds, read a book, or practice some gentle stretches before bed. And if you do want to watch TV, try turning it off at least 1 hour before you plan to sleep to give your brain time to relax.

Sweet dreams!😴✨
