Getting enough sleep is crucial to one\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

And the constant lack of it not only will it affect your productivity, but is going to form a variety of possible diseases.<\/p>\n

If you do not get the sleep your body needs, the effectiveness of your immune system is going to decrease.<\/p>\n

This is because while we sleep, our body heals and recharges.<\/p>\n

It manages processes that while awake it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

And if you deprive your organism of all this, you will be prone to getting sick more easily.<\/p>\n

The constant lack of sleep leads to troubles with thinking and concentration; memory issues; heart problems; risk of diabetes; and raises the risk of cancer.<\/p>\n

In this article, we are going to tell you several reasons why you might be having sleepless nights. Then we will show you the easiest way to solve your sleeping problems.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Why I can’t sleep?<\/h2>\n

Stress<\/h3>\n

Usually, our job is the main reason why we are lacking essential sleep.<\/p>\n

We get up early and tire ourselves with stress and the never-ending workload during the day.<\/p>\n

Then we drag ourselves home and all we think of is our comfortable and warm bed.<\/p>\n

Yet, when we lie down, sleep is more than hard to come by.<\/p>\n

This is because our brain is busy with the day\u2019s problems and dramas. It keeps itself wide awake instead of relaxing and falling asleep.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This condition is widely known as insomnia.<\/p>\n

Many people suffer from insomnia worldwide because of stress.<\/p>\n

Sleep is dependent mainly on the way one lives.<\/p>\n

Living a healthy life is not only down to eating healthy food but also taking care of your mental health, too.<\/p>\n

Instead of overthinking your tough day, try to meditate, clear your mind of all the problems, and leave them outside your bedroom.<\/p>\n

Before you go to bed forget all about the stressful things in your life.<\/p>\n

These may be school, work, family, finances, et cetera.<\/p>\n

Prepare your mind for sleep and you will be surprised how easy it will come.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Uncomfortable bedding<\/h3>\n

Another reason why you might be having problems with falling asleep is the uncomfortable bedding.<\/p>\n

Your body will not be able to relax properly if it cannot find peace.<\/p>\n

Arrange or change completely the place you sleep in.<\/p>\n

Choose a comfortable mattress, some calming colors for the tapestry, and a nice scent that you like.<\/p>\n

Reading a book or writing the way your day went down in a notebook are also great ways to calm your mind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bad lightning<\/h3>\n

If there is any kind of a light source, you must turn it off or take it away to another room.<\/p>\n

Our bodies are having a natural clock that is led by the amount of light that it gets exposed to.<\/p>\n

If there is any kind of light in the room we sleep, then our brain will start thinking that it is daytime.<\/p>\n

This is why all kinds of electronics and artificial lightning are bad for human wellbeing.<\/p>\n

They most of all destruct our eyes and later on, our way of life, depriving us of our natural habits.<\/p>\n

This is why TVs, smartphones, and working late on your computer are sleep\u2019s biggest enemies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Blue light<\/h3>\n

All electronic devices that have a liquid-crystal display (LCD) emit blue light.<\/p>\n

These are all the smartphones, tablets, computers and monitors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The human eye can see a blue light<\/a> in comparison to other types of light.<\/p>\n

It is on the cold part of the light spectrum.<\/p>\n

This means that it has short wavelengths and that it is highly energized.<\/p>\n

Every kind of light that has high energy levels can get deeper into the eyeball.<\/p>\n

This leads to greater irreversible damage.<\/p>\n

Blue light is responsible for the disease called \u201cmacular degeneration<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is a disease that will lead to constant blurred vision and vision loss.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What has a blue light to do with the lack of sleep?<\/h2>\n

Blue light<\/a>, were it from its natural source \u2013 the sun \u2013 or from your laptop, is reducing the production of melatonin in your body.<\/p>\n

Melatonin<\/a> is the hormone that your body produces when it is dark, so you get tired and can go to sleep more easily. But blue light prevents this.<\/p>\n

How to deal with blue light?<\/h3>\n

There are several ways to deal with the impact of the blue light from your devices.<\/p>\n

You could put a regime and turn your computer off two hours before going to bed.<\/p>\n

The same implies to your phone or tablet, too.<\/p>\n

However, if you cannot put aside your devices and have important work to do, there is another way to get the affection of blue light to the lowest level possible.<\/p>\n

You could install a blue light filter for your PC and phone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What are blue light filters?<\/h3>\n

A blue light filter<\/a> is a program that you can install on your device.<\/p>\n

It is going to put a filter on the display that is going to block out the blue light<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thus, it will make the display more eye-friendly and less damaging to your vision.<\/p>\n

So far, Iris<\/a> is the best blue light filter.<\/p>\n

Iris<\/a> has many possibilities, like choosing at what rate to block the blue light.<\/p>\n

Or at what intervals Iris<\/a> to remind you to take a break.<\/p>\n

During the break, you could look at faraway objects and \u2018\u2018stretch\u2019 the muscles of your eyes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You must not worry that Iris<\/a> will interfere with what are you doing.<\/p>\n

The program operates as a background task.<\/p>\n

It will only remind for its presence when it is time for your short break. (if you have enabled this option)<\/p>\n

Iris<\/a> works on both Windows, Android, and iOS devices.<\/p>\n

Last words<\/h2>\n

Sometimes you can solve a problem with as little as installing an app on your computer.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the reason why you are counting sheep every night is because of that you work till midnight on your computer.<\/p>\n

Or scroll through your social media feed.<\/p>\n

With Iris<\/a>, there is no need to deprive yourself of all that.<\/p>\n

You will be able to do whatever you want until whenever you desire without bad consequences for your eyes.<\/p>\n
