' #Circadianrhythms involve more than just the central clock in the brain because every organ and tissue has its own molecular timekeepers.'

You could keep wondering how you can improve your #sleep at night, or you could:
☀️ Get 15-30 min of AM #sunexposure .
☀️ Get outside throughout the day - a short walk is fine.
☀️ Get 15-30 min of PM sun exposure, around sunset.
☀️ Dial down on the #bluelight exposure before bed.
Can we prevent #jetlag ? Mitigate the effects? Is it safe to nap?
#JadeWu , a behavioral #sleep medicine #psychologist & researcher at #DukeUniversity School of Medicine, answers questions & addresses myths surrounding jet lag.

These key factors align your internal body clock to the natural day-night cycle, encourage #melatoninproduction , and support a consistent #circadianrhythm , all of which leads to better #qualitysleep , increased #alertness , and improved #cognitivefunction throughout the day.
TL:DR ➡️ #HormoneLevels , #stress , alcohol before bed, & light (specifically #bluelight ) disruption can be factors to why you may wake up in the middle of the night.
These aren't the only factors or adjustments you can make for waking in the middle of the night, but it's a start.
Why are we taking #sleepsupplements if our body naturally produces #melatonin ?
We have introduced inconsistency to the timing of light & darkness, and therefore to our melatonin & #sleeprhythms .
The blue end of the #lightspectrum is melatonin’s most potent melatonin suppressant.
Did you know you NEED #bluelight during the day, & should decrease it before bed? Color-changing #lightbulbs in ' #circadian mode' dim to darkness at night but keep blue light. With #SORAA ZeroBlue by #Korrus , no more dimming or warmth shifts!

Incorporating these foods into your diet, especially in the hours leading up to #bedtime , may help support good #sleephygiene .
Remember also to maintain a consistent #sleepschedule , #limitcaffeine & alcohol intake, and create a relaxing #bedtime routine for optimal #sleepquality .

So how can you achieve all this?
☀️ 15 minutes of morning & evening #sunlight
☀️ Get sunlight throughout the day
☀️ No #bluelight 1-3 hours before bed
☀️ Don't go to bed with the TV on
