Christopher Ellis explains why overhead lights disrupt sleep at night. Bright light triggers cortisol release and signals your body it's sunrise. Use an amber night light instead, which won't spike cortisol like blue light does.

I found this on Amazon. It's an amber light plugin that doesn't do the same thing as blue light. If you want my free guide on 12 tips to optimize sleep, comment sleep down below.
