According to sleep experts, a typical adult is predicted to sleep a minimum of 6 hours each day .
Also from most researchers, complete quality sleep is achieved when a person sleeps in complete darkness.
Below are the three top major keys why you need to sleep in complete darkness when going to bed.
REGULATION OF MELATONIN PRODUCTION
It can be argued that one of the most important hormones in the body is melatonin. Proper
levels of melatonin are required for a person to experience rejuvenating sleep. This hormone is
secreted from the pineal gland during the night. Studies have shown that sleeping while exposed
to light may reduce or delay the production of melatonin, which in turn to disrupt the sleep
cycle. Apart from being encouraging healthy sleep, melatonin is also beneficial for regulating
other hormones in the body including those that direct a woman’s menstrual cycle.
ENHANCING MENTAL FOCUS
Sleeping in the dark not only reduces insomnia but is also improves your mental focus and
alertness during the day. The average sleep cycle is about 90minutes in length. A healthy sleep cycle can improve your emotional well being and has been linked to a reduction in mental
illnesses such as stress, anxiety and depression.
ANTI-AGEING AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BENEFITS
Apart from the relaxing effects, sleeping in the dark has known anti-ageing benefits. Studies have
shown that cellular regeneration is more active when the body is in a complete resting state
with the absence of light. The greater level of regeneration leads to anti-inflammatory and
hormonal balancing effects which in turn to enable the body to heal faster and slow down the
ageing process.
