Text me what you thought of the show 😊

We break down why falling asleep while scrolling is not a win and how blue light at night quietly shifts your body clock, blocks melatonin, and steals deep, restorative sleep. We explain the difference between sleep pressure and natural sleep onset, and give clear steps to fix your light diet.

• sleep homeostat versus natural melatonin onset
• adenosine and caffeine masking tiredness
• blue light signalling day to the brain
• circadian phase shifting from screens and LEDs
• melatonin’s role in recovery and cellular defence
• indoor life, COVID habits and clock drift
• practical fixes for a darker evening routine
• zero-blue lighting for kids and adults
• daylight exposure to anchor the clock
• simple bedroom blackout checklist
