Should I be watching tv while trying to sleep?
Hey, what’s playing in the background can make more difference than you might think 📺
It’s generally better to sleep without the TV on, as the light and noise can make it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep.
What you’re watching can also keep your brain active when it should be winding down.
If you want to watch TV in the evening, you could turn it off at least an hour before bedtime 💫
Relaxing music or sounds, reading a book, or doing some stretches could help you unwind instead.
Sweet dreams ✨
