Below are 7 tips for good sleep from Dr. Michael Daignault – emergency medicine physician in Los Angeles, USA.

Netflix is definitely not the reason for your insomnia, but the blue light from the screens of electronic devices such as televisions or mobile phones is the reason why it is difficult for you to sleep well.
In some cases where screen exposure is required at night, you can use the blue light blocking mode available in devices or use blue light blocking glasses to protect your health.
