If you’ve ever gone camping, it’s hard to forget the night sky full of stars.
It’s a rare sight these days for city dwellers.
The lights of civilization have all but eliminated this glimpse into the wonders of the universe.
But light pollution does more than prevent you from stargazing.
The artificial “glow” that fills the city atmosphere also messes with your sleep.
(That’s why it’s so much easier to get up at the crack of dawn when you’re camping)
Specifically, it halts the production of your sleep-inducing hormone: melatonin.
Melatonin is what sets your internal clock, telling your brain when you should be tired vs. when you should be alert.
Our bodies have evolved to perceive light as a trigger to stay awake.
In fact, our bodies have such a low sensitivity threshold for light (0.6 lux), that it doesn’t take much to mess with our melatonin levels.
(Lux is a measurement of light)
The only light that our bodies were built to handle in the evening is moonlight (0.001 lux), which is well below that threshold.
Now, think about all the artificial light that you’re surrounded by every day.
I mean, an extremely potent source is basically attached to your hand in the form of a smartphone.
No wonder men these days never feel rested in the morning…
So, is there any way to be like those guys that can wake up at 5am, roll out of bed, and get after it?
Thankfully, yes.
The most important being avoiding as much bright light as possible 1-2 hours before bed.
That means no smartphone, TV, or tablet…
And even dimming down any overhead lights.
Blue light blocking glasses and blue light eliminating apps like f.lux can help if you absolutely need to be on a device at night.
It also means keeping light pollution away from you, by investing in blackout curtains. Install them in any room that you use in the evening and keep them shut 1-2 hours before bed.
But light pollution is only one of the causes of poor sleep.
Most of our readers are high performing men who push themselves to the limit whether it’s in the boardroom or on the golf course.
A busy schedule combined with stress is a recipe for not getting enough sleep or the quality sleep the body craves.
Everything talked about in this post is why we developed Overnight T+.
This breakthrough formula contains 12 science-backed ingredients that are specifically designed to help men…
Fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and get deeper, more refreshing sleep.
Ingredients like magnolia bark.
This plant has been used in Eastern Medicine for thousands of years for high quality sleep and to fight stress and anxiety. Research shows it helps men spend 30% more time in restorative “Slow Wave” sleep.
L- theanine, a compound found in tea that works by helping the brain generate “alpha waves” …The peaceful calm state you experience right before you fall asleep.
A potent GABA promoter to help you relax called passion flower… which studies show can make you sleep 25% longer.
A the correct dose of melatonin to fight back against modern light pollution.
If you ever struggle to fall asleep…stay asleep…or don’t wake up feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on the day…
Overnight T+ is for you.
For all the crucial details on this breakthrough sleep support formula…
