壞習慣一：看電視看到睡著
Why It Disrupts Sleep: It has nothing to do with what you watch—Downton Abbey isn’t a better pre-sleep choice than Dog the Bounty Hunter. Rather it’s the exposure to TV’s bright light that’s the culprit. Artificial bright light after dusk not only enhances alertness, but also delays the production of melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone. So even if you nod off (in front of the TV, for example), you probably won’t stay asleep for long.
為什么會影響睡眠：這和你看什么節目沒有任何關系，因為《唐頓莊園》并不是比《賞金獵人》更好的睡前節目。反而是暴露在電視強光下才是影響你睡眠的罪魁禍首。天黑后的人造強光不僅讓人增加警惕性，而且會延遲體內睡眠荷爾蒙——褪黑素的生成。所以即使你打盹了（比如在電視機前），你很可能也睡不了多久。
EZZZ Fix: An hour before bedtime, treat yourself like a baby: a warm bath, followed by a quiet activity in dim light—meditation, journal writing, reading. But no reading or writing on your computer before bed or in the middle of the night. (Almost half of the respondents in the AOL Email Addiction survey admitted to checking email during the night. If that’s you, keep technology out of the bedroom.)
解決方法：睡前一小時，讓自己像嬰兒一樣：洗個熱水澡，在暗淡的燈光下做些安靜的事情-冥想，寫日記，閱讀。但是睡前或者半夜絕對不能在電腦上閱讀或者寫東西。（幾乎一半參與美國在線電子郵件上癮調查的人們承認晚間會查看電子郵件。如果你也是這樣，那么記得把高科技關在臥室外面吧。）
