Leave your gadgets, go sleep its midnight!

The new progress in the field of technology has taken our pleasant sleep away. If you are like many of  those who find it very hard to stop checking updates on their phones, late at night and try to fell asleep. Then you too are a victim of modern technology's side effects.

Waking up all night has become a very general habit over time, and technology plays a huge roll in encouraging that. We are so deeply submerged in the ocean of this modern techno world, that sometimes we even forget that our mind and body needs rest (sleep) to work properly.


Well, the experts call this 'bedtime procrastination'. When you are trying hard to sleep but your mind keep processing stuff, and you can't manage to even take a nap. I face this problem regularly, and people call me a 'night owl'. It's true that sometimes I don't go to bed at night because I got some work to be done, but it's also true that sometimes when I don't have any work I still find myself awake all night. This is a problem which i'm unable to solve.

Anyway, today I was reading an article about bedtime procrastination in which they suggested these tips...

  • Finish eating two to three hours before going to bed.
  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol before you hit the pillow.
  • Take a hot bath or listen to soothing music an hour before sleep time.
  • Sleep in an area that is dark, comfy, quite and cool.
  • Use your bedroom only for sleeping. Gadgets should be out of that room.
These are the tricks they have suggested. Now i'm going to try them and lets see if anything works well or again i find myself checking updates on my laptop... You try this too!
