How Light Affects Your Sleep
/in Sleep Tips/by AmeriSleep DiagnosticsHave you ever gone on vacation and slept like a baby in your hotel room? Your good night’s sleep may be a result of more than a comfortable mattress and a well-deserved mental break from the stress of everyday life. It could be related to the absence of light.
To help guests have a positive experience, many hotel rooms install blackout curtains in their rooms. They do this because research shows that light is one of the most significant external factors that can profoundly affect sleep.
Light-sensitive cells in the retinas of our eyes react to light and tell the brain whether its daytime or nighttime, setting our sleep patterns accordingly. When our surroundings transition from darkness to light, our brain can be tricked to think that it is a new day and try to wake the body.
Circadian rhythms are internal clocks that regulate our sleep. The length of a typical circadian rhythm is approximately 24 hours. Because artificial light is all around us, it can make it difficult for the brain to process the information correctly, which can lead to a disrupted circadian rhythm and cause us to lose sleep. Blue light appears to be the most disruptive at night because it suppresses the production of melatonin at a higher rate than other types of light. Common sources of blue light include fluorescent and LED lighting, as well as digital screens, such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and TVs.
The next time you find yourself tossing and turning at night, open your eyes and notice if there is any light filling the space in your room. Common light sources that can affect your sleep include:

The Best Earplugs for Your Partner
/in Sleep Tips/by AmeriSleep DiagnosticsIs your snoring keeping your partner awake at night and causing them to be sleep deprived? Sleep deprivation can contribute to lack of focus and make them feel irritable and cranky. Even when your partner eventually falls asleep, it’s likely that your snoring wakes them up a few hours later and that same snoring prevents them from falling back asleep.
You may want to consider having a sleep diagnostic test done to understand the cause of your snoring, and if there is an opportunity to remedy it.
In the meantime, you can help your partner get some rest by purchasing earplugs to help cancel out the snoring. The best earplugs for snoring should block out most noise and should have an NRR (noise reduction rating) of 30 and above. These types of earplugs can be found online, in your local drugstore, and are available from your doctor.
Following are some suggestions for earplugs in different price ranges which are all NRR30 and above:
Howard Leight by Honeywell MAX Disposable Foam Earplugs
Moldex 6800 Pura-Fit Soft-Foam Earplugs
Decibullz – Custom Molded Earplugs
HEAROS Xtreme Protection Noise Cancelling Disposable Foam Earplugs
The Ear Buddy Premium Soft Foam Earplugs
Flents Quiet Time Earplugs
SoundOff Sleep, with patented SnoreMasking™ technology – This one isn’t an ear plug but it uses technology to block out snoring.
