Week 2

 

#TIP 1. ENERGY MANAGEMENT

You probably don’t even realize how your smart phone habits are affecting your sleep and your brain’s health.

People usually don’t think about the idea that using their phone before bed (or in bed) affects their sleep.

It keeps your mind psychologically engaged. You will feel more tired and less alert when you wake up.

If you’re really struggling with limiting screen time before bed, try putting your phone in a different room.

My challenge for you:

Put your phone away for 30 mins before falling asleep every night this week.
