If you want to sleep better at night, you’ll want to reduce your exposure to bright and blue light in the evening. For most people, the biggest source of bright and blue light at night are the screens we use such as our TVs, computers and smart phones.

Here’s a simple hack that I use to reduce my bright and blue light exposure on my iPhone. It also works great for iPads. It’s better than dark mode on an iPhone because it reduces bright and blue light exposure even more.

In fact, this hack also works great for looking at your phone in movie theaters or other places where a bright screen could be problematic or distract other people.

Try it out and if you have any comments about this iPhone red light sleep hack and have experienced using it yourself, please share your feedback below.

How do you get the most restful sleep in as little time as possible? Here are SEVEN practices to hack sleep with everything from technology to getting the right supplements.

Once you understand just how much in control you are of your own sleep and how fixable it is you gain the power to take control of your body, your brain, and your life.

TOOLS TO HACK SLEEP:

1) @Ouraring - like having a sleep laboratory on your finger
2) Gethap bee neckband - naturally stimulate bio-receptors in cells to recreate the same sensations as melatonin (the sleep hormone)
3) Blue light-blocking glasses - true dark from biohacker @DaveAspreyBPR
4) Red light for the bedroom (Sting had it wrong, Roxanne, you DO want to put on the Red light!😉)
5) Turn on the A/C - activate your thermogenesis (fat loss advantage)
6) Kindle - why you need to stop reading on your phone before bed
7) Candles - the lowest tech on the list, but one of his favorites

SUPPLEMENTS FOR BETTER SLEEP:

1) Melatonin (you don't need to take it every day)
2) Magnesium (I share the special type you need for sleep)
3) 5HTP - take it in the morning for better sleep at night
4) CBD Oil (yes it comes from the cannabis plant - but it WON'T get you high!)
5) Qualia Night - just a really solid stack for better sleep

I also share a couple of things you need to cut back on or avoid altogether so watch until the end.

Have you tried any of these? Or know of any other sleep hacks? Let me know your thoughts on sleep tech in the comments. And if anyone you know has a hard time sleeping, please share this video with them.

*Disclosure: We believe in being completely transparent if Mindvalley or @vishenlakhiani gains a financial advantage from recommending any of these products. Vishen has invested a small in amount the Canadian-listed company Hapbee.

Dave Asprey, Father of Biohacking, says you might not be as good at sleeping as you thought.

There is an epidemic of bad sleep.

So how can you hack it? Dave dug in.

Should you take collagen protein, raw honey, or Brain Octane Oil before you go to bed? Or none of the above?

Dave tested it. He looked at the lighting in his room. He looked at the color of glasses he wore and learned he could double his quality of sleep by wearing the right kind of glasses.

The holy grail? A ring.

The Oura Ring tracks your deep sleep, REM sleep, heart rate variability, the quality of sleep, and how recovered you are from sleep - and gives you an accurate report of how well you slept the night before.

Figure out how to know if your sleep is good, once you know how you're doing, you can improve.

Disclaimer: Because Dave Asprey is so passionate about the product, he is also an investor in Oura Ring.
