@lisalucier and @colleenyoung Our phones, tablets and computers emit a blue light which interferes with our sleep cycles. The light reduces the amount of melatonin we naturally produce. I have gone back to a classic alarm in my bedroom and keep my phone in my nightstand for emergency calls.
Colleen, I think we continue with these so called bad behaviors because we try to fit so much in to our days! I have seen some studies suggest we block the blue light by wearing amber glasses.What do you think of that suggestion? Would it be something you might try?

Maureen and Jen, I did not know about glasses that block the blue light. I would like to report that I am leaving my phone in the kitchen and read my book at night instead of the phone. Most nights (not tonight obviously), I shut my computer an hour before going to bed. It is helping. I don't do it 7 nights out of 7, but more than I was before. Small steps to change count.

My glasses do have the blue light filter.
