Natural Ways to Boost Melatonin Production
1. Follow a Consistent Sleep Schedule
Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even if your schedule is unconventional.
2. Reduce Exposure to Artificial Light
Limit screen time and exposure to bright lights 1-2 hours before bed. Use blue-light-blocking glasses if needed.
3. Create a Sleep-Friendly Environment
Keep your sleeping area dark, quiet, and cool. Consider using blackout curtains, an eye mask, or a white noise machine.
4. Spend Time in Natural Light
Exposure to natural light during the day helps regulate your circadian rhythm and supports melatonin production at night.
5. Incorporate Relaxation Techniques
Activities like meditation, deep breathing, or gentle yoga before bed can signal your body that it’s time to wind down.
