It was a very warm day today.

I was so tired because of lack of sleep. Recently I cannot fall asleep easily, in addition my sleep is not deep enough. I often have sleeping problems in the past. 

I played relaxed music on my bedroom and used an aroma candle to make comfortable myself. 

However, it takes about 1.5 hours to fall asleep yesterday.

I was thinking the reasons of this problem. I found two possible reasons.

1. Lack of exercise 

2. Excessive exposure to blue light  

It is understandable that I do not work now due to the current lockdown. So, I do not move around same as before. I work in a cosmetic clinic as a registered nurse, and I rarely sit down. But now I have a sedentary lifestyle and not really go out following the stay home order. 

Even though I try to work out every day.

For example, usually I go to run before lunch and walk in the evening for half hour each time. 

But I know that it is not enough, and I gained about 4 kg in this 6 week. Probably, I need more intense exercise.

The second reason to disturb my sleep is blue light which I normally do not exposure to. 

As I mentioned before, I work as a nurse and do not use computer long hours.

Now I use computer more than 4 hours to make a website and write blogs. It is very enjoyable, then I did not care about effects of my eyes and drain.

I am not sure, but my highly sensitive sensory may be a reason as well. Basically, I am not good at stimulations. I do not like a big TV screen and loud noises. Maybe blue light also kind of stimulation.  

According to information in websites, people should avoid using computer, smart phone, and tablet 2 hours before sleep. Yes, I like writing this journal in my bed.

I need to fix this habit!

So today I will finish this journal and go to bed early.

Have a good night!

English is my second language, so you may find incorrect sentences.

It would be great help if you leave a comment for me. 

Thank you for reading!

I tied using this medication for my headache.

I tried to quit smoking.
