While you do need to turn off your technology, it’s okay to listen to a little slow and calming music in the background two hours before bedtime. However, you want the environment quiet once you lay down to sleep.
The music shouldn’t be anything energizing or that you want to sing along with, though.
So many people like watching movies before bed, but the truth is, falling asleep to movies and technology is counterproductive when it comes to ensuring a good night’s sleep.
Turn off your electronics at least two hours before bed and focus on low-tech, quiet activities at that point.
As mentioned earlier, keeping your room temperature between 18° and 19° celcius is optimal for the best high-quality sleep.
Not only is setting the temperature colder good for helping you sleep but it’s also helpful to your body overall – helping you get over colds and allergies, and encouraging proper hormone production.
