The Importance of Darkness for Sleep and Health
Optimizing sleep and metabolic health requires bright days and complete darkness at night. Exposure to even minimal light during sleep can inhibit melatonin production, which is crucial not just for sleep, but also for various bodily repair processes, including gut lining regeneration. Solutions like 100% blackout window shades can significantly enhance sleep quality by blocking unwanted light from streetlights or holiday decorations. Creating a controlled light environment is essential to achieving restorative sleep, leading to improved overall health and well-being.
