00:00:34 --> 00:00:41 Hello and welcome to Momo 634 motivational moments just for today.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47 I know people who can sleep anywhere at any time.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51 I am not one of those people.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:57 I have a terrible time sleeping when I travel and I have a

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58 different sleep problem

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59 when I'm at home.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04 I enjoy reading quietly to wind down,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 but my house doesn't get quiet until quite late.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12 So after getting a little headspace to start reading,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14 it's really late,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16 or should I say early,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 before I actually get to bed.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23 Apparently, this is becoming more common.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:30 It even has a crazy name, Revenge Bedtime Procrastination.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35 I started making a bit of headway with this problem when I

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36 switched over from

00:01:36 --> 00:01:40 reading via the book apps on my smartphone to the app on my

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41 Kindle device itself,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44 which uses e-ink instead.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:49 The blue light given off by our smartphones and computers

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51 interrupt the release of melatonin.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57 The experts say not to use any device emitting blue light

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59 within an hour of sleep.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04 I still need to do this consistently as it really does help.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:11 The experts also say not to consume beverages containing sugar

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13 or caffeine late in the day.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:20 They advise making your bedroom as dark as it can be because it

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21 is supposedly

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22 conducive to better sleep.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27 If you are prone to nap at other times,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31 they suggest limiting this so that you will be sleepy at bedtime.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:38 Start preparing for bedtime earlier until you strike the right balance.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41 Sleep is important.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:46 Not getting enough sleep or the right kind of sleep can cause

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48 health problems and

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50 exacerbate existing mental health conditions.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:58 Proverbs 3.24 says, if you lie down, you will not be afraid.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02 When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05 Our meme for today says,

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09 prepare for nighttime just as you do for your day.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12 May your sleep be sweet.
