Sleep Myth: Watching TV in my bedroom and working on my laptop in bed helps me wind down and fall asleep
Fact: Doing work, watching TV and using the computer, both close to bedtime and especially in the bedroom, hinders quality sleep. Rather than helping you to “wind down”, these activities make the brain more alert. In addition, violent shows, news reports and stories before bedtime can be agitating.
For better sleep, use the bedroom and the bed only for sleep and sex.
