Let's talk about how to fix your sleep. The majority of the population uses their phones before bed. Cell phones and other mobile devices expose you to blue light, which powerfully suppresses melatonin, the hormone that helps you sleep.

If your melatonin is too low, you’ll have difficulty getting to sleep. Just a minute and a half of blue light exposure before bed can reduce melatonin. Blue light blockers or blue light glasses can help reduce blue light exposure.

EMF stands for electromagnetic fields. It is invisible radiation that affects the whole body. It damages communication signals within the cells and may increase the risk of cancer.

Trifield measures electromagnetic fields and radio frequencies. It can be helpful to use this device to measure in the areas where you spend a lot of time.

EMF exposure can affect your sleep quality and how deep you sleep. This will affect how you feel the next day.

Alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine interfere with melatonin. Stress before bed and temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit can also affect sleep quality.

Poor sleep can affect your energy level, productivity, cognitive function, focus, concentration, and creativity. Surprisingly, poor sleep can cause blood sugar problems and increase your risk for type 2 diabetes, dementia, and depression.

If you want to improve sleep quality, try using blue light blockers that work and talk on speakerphone.

Social media is a drug and it’s an absolute waste of time. Books at bed time has improved me and my sleep.

Book before bedtime is the best sleep aid

Three hours before bed . No phone or tablet . I’ll take a call, but no looking or scrolling . After 6pm no phone .

[sherrydatta]

I just decided I will silence my phone and plug it in in my bathroom. If I get an emergency call I can hear it ring. I will read a real live book or do word puzzle books if I'm not sleepy when I get in bed. Thank you Dr. Berg!

Superb video!
I’m glad you covered this more in-depth.
Limiting cell phone usage has had the biggest impact on my sleep and health.
No cell phone before dinner (mindful eating) until an hour after waking up.
Stay off the fear inducing mindless social media.
Thanks again to you and your health family.
Peace love and blessings 💫

I download audiobooks using Hoopla (free) and Audible onto my device...When I'm in bed I choose the book I want to listen to and SET the timer for 60 minutes...

I listen and wind down from my busy day and, if I drift off to sleep, the book STOPS at 60 minutes! 😊

Since I DOWNLOAD the book ahead of time, I am able to put my phone on airplane mode and just access the downloaded books. I also place my phone away from me, for extra measure!

I really enjoy this routine of mine! Thought I'd add my enjoyable bedtime habit to all the great ideas the other Dr. Berg fans come up with! 🤩

My cell is banished from my bedroom. I put it on a particular shelf outside my room a couple hours before I go to bed and don't pick it up again the next morning until I decide.

I would also mention that cell phones and other mobile devices for many years now have had a built-in setting called something like "Bluelight Filter, " which reduces or eliminates the amount of blue light being emitted by the device. This may not be available on all devices, but it can help curb blue light at the source and reduce the need for specialized eyewear

I’m watching this just before going to bed

[farbodnasseh]

Hands down one of the most informative creators on YouTube. Thank you for informing us of the things that are all around us and negatively affect our health!

No phone in the bedroom. Even on Airplane, my husband's phone gives notifications.

[helpinyerdasellavon]

Demonstration with different sunglasses/blue blockers was mind-blowing. You look amazing, Dr Berg 😎👍🏻💯

[cbsharpe]

This is legit because I did this months ago, and I noticed how much of a better sleep I got (even though I didn't have any sleep issues to begin with). Thanks Dr. Berg!

[robinsnestradio]

I need to put my phone away before bed. It won't be easy but I would like to see how I feel after a couple of weeks. Pray for me yall. This will be a challenge!😉 Happy Friday 🌅

[SYale-qtoz]

Although I knew this information, it is still valuable that dr Berg explains this ignored but important problem.

[williammkennedyjr]

Well, I guess that fifty five inch tv.I have about ten feet away, ain't helping me🤪

[williambell]

Most devices these days have "eye comfort shields", or "night light" settings to suppress blue light coming from the screens - why buy glasses?
Now EMF radiation I totally agree - I move my devices away from me, especially my head.
After being reminded about this, I'll move them away even further... 👍

You’re amazing, Dr Berg, nice to meet u. Thanks for the video. Singapore here

[jay_evans]

Thanks for this. I sent this video to my wife, who is always on her phone watching TikTok videos at night, and also suffers from insomnia. My daughter also struggles with sleeping problems. She's also always on her phone or tablet playing video games.
