info_outlineIn our last +1, we talked about Digital Sabbaticals.
Today, let’s talk about Digital Sunsets.
I’m not 100% sure if I coined that phrase or not but I love it. (Laughing.)
Here’s the idea: We know that THE #1 obstacle to getting a good night of sleep is using your technology way too late. (We also know that, unfortunately, most people do that.)
Therefore, if we want to have the best shot at a great night of sleep so we can be supercharged for the next day AND have a life outside of work and technology and entertainment, we’d be very wise to TURN OFF ALL THE ELECTRONICS early.
I like to be extreme with this so my cut-off is super early: sunset. The sun goes down and all electronics go off.
That’s a digital sunset.
Sun goes down:
Computer? Off.
Smartphone? Off.
TV? Don’t have one but if we did that would be OFF.
We even take it a step further and only use non-blue-light lights in the bathroom and bedroom as we go through our night-time ritual with the fam. Why? Well, our four-year-old son Emerson will tell you, “Blue light disrupts your melatonin”—which we want to limit if we want to get a good night of sleep.
So…
Today’s +1.
By when will YOU turn off your electronics tonight?
All the sleep experts say AT LEAST one hour before your hoped-for bedtime is wise. I think even more time before is wiser if you’re really serious about sleep—which, again, I think you should be.
As I’ve said before (and I promise to say again), we need to make the decision: Do we want to be entertained or do we want to be actualized? Let’s choose wisely.
Go dark. Connect with your family and connect with your highest self.
+1. +1. +1.
