There have been a lot of studies showing that using electronic devices before sleeping not
only cause difficulty in falling asleep but also leads to long-term health issues which we
might discuss in this blog.

Using any electronic gadget before going to bed not only makes it difficult to fall asleep but
also negatively impacts how you are the next day because the light from devices ruins sleep
schedules. Jumping to your mobile phones before sleeping might look like a harmless habit to
you but this habit is slowly disrupting your whole body.

There are a lot of reasons for ditching your mobile phones at night such as:
1. It Stimulates Brain: When you’re about to relax your brain at night and suddenly go for a
quick scrolling of your phone then you’re actually making your brain more active and thus it
delays your sleep.
2. Harmfulness of Phone Light: The blue light that comes from the phone may seem very
much nicer during day time but at off hours it has really bad impacts not only on vision but
negatively disturbing internal body functioning too.
3. Change in emotions: Surprisingly, using phone during late hours can make your emotions
disturbed too because studies show that a person who doesn’t get good sleep for at least 8
hours likely to have crankiness and emotional imbalances in daily routine.

Therefore, with much alarming conditions, it should be taken into consideration that one
should avoid using smart gadgets especially mobile phones before going to sleep and ditch
them for a healthy lifestyle.

1. Eat Healthy & Light Food

During summers, it is suggested that one should consume meals in smaller portions and have light food meals because heavy meals with large amounts of carbohydrates and fats lead to a lot of heat in the body. So, focusing on fresh fruits and vegetables that have high water content – such as oranges, watermelon, tomatoes, etc will help you stay hydrated and fresh during summers.

2. Treat your eyes well

During summers, sunrays become very harsh and harmful for our eyes so try to avoid harsh lights during work or being outdoors. Wearing sunglasses while you’re out is strongly recommended.

3. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine

Alcohol, fizzy drinks and coffee all have dehydration properties. If possible, try to decrease the amount of these beverages, especially during hot weather. Plain or flavoured water is a good substitute.

4. Drink plenty of water

Heat and sweat in the summer months can leave your body dehydrated, causing unwanted health issues such as fever and chills. Keep yourself well hydrated by drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water every day.

5. Stay indoors

Restrict outdoor activities during hot weather especially from 12pm to 4:30pm of the day. You can step out to the cooler parts of the day – early mornings before 11. am or late evenings after 5.00 pm.

Roadside food can be contaminated and may lead to foodborne infections because food gets easily spoilt in summers if not stored properly.

Summers require a lot of self-care & attention from drinking a lot of water to avoiding going outdoors in hot weather. But, if taken care properly and consuming hydrated substance, one can stay healthy and fit in summers.
