There are several effective strategies for reducing the negative impact of technology on sleep. One of the best courses of action is to limit screen time throughout the evening and avoid screen exposure directly before bedtime. Individuals concerned about sleep hygiene or experiencing sleep-related health issues can consult with experts at the Koala Center For Sleep & TMJ Disorders for customized guidance and treatment plans. Additionally, turning off screens at least an hour before bed is an excellent practice. Individuals can start by reducing screen time by 15 or 30 minutes before bed and gradually increasing this time. Establishing a firm bedtime routine, both in terms of behavior and timing, can help promote a better transition from waking to sleep. This can involve the elimination of electronics and switching over to healthier bedtime activities, such as reading a book. Using dim lighting in the bedroom at night and ensuring a comfortable sleeping environment with cool temperatures and comfortable bedding can also promote more effective sleep. For those having difficulty making these changes, using devices in dark mode or night mode at least changes the screen from blue hues to red hues, which minimizes disruptions to some extent.
