A Simple Night & Morning Routine to Supercharge Your Brain and Sleep

Tips for staying Fit & Healthy: (Tip No. 9 of 9)

Let’s be honest—our phones are practically glued to our hands. They are the first thing we check in the morning and the last thing we scroll through at night. But did you know this habit could be robbing you of deep, restful sleep and affecting your brainpower?

Yes, that tiny glowing screen is a silent sleep thief! The blue light from your phone messes with melatonin, the hormone that signals your body it is time to sleep. Plus, it cuts down on REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep—the phase where your brain processes memories, emotions, and problem-solving skills.

So, what’s the fix? A simple two-step routine that can transform your sleep and boost your brainpower:

Step 1: Meditate Before Bed—Not Scroll

Instead of endlessly scrolling through social media, try this: put your phone away at least 30 minutes before bedtime and meditate. It doesn’t have to be complicated—just sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and focus on your breath.

Why It Works:

✅ Helps your body shift into relaxation mode

✅ Increases melatonin levels naturally

✅ Improves REM sleep, which enhances memory and brain function

✅ Reduces stress and anxiety for a peaceful sleep

Step 2: Morning Yoga Before Checking Your Phone

Let’s face it—most of us wake up and reach for our phones before even getting out of bed. But what if you swapped that habit for a short morning yoga session instead?

A simple 5–10 minute stretch or sun salutation can:

✅ Wake up your body and mind naturally

✅ Boost circulation and energy levels

✅ Improve focus and mental clarity for the day ahead

And then—after you’ve given your brain a healthy start—you can check your phone.

Small Change, Big Impact

This simple night-and-morning rule might feel like a small shift, but it can transform your sleep quality, mental sharpness, and overall well-being.
