avoid turning on a light when you awaken.
I think it is in this video, but studies show that melatonin levels crash if you turn on the lights in the middle of the night and don’t return to previous levels when asleep.
Great video.

I don’t turn on a light. There is a barely noticeable night light to light the path, but I pretty much have the path memorized, even in the dark. The good nights are when I don’t wake up at all. I’ve been a light sleeper my whole life. I use white noise machines to help too. It’s just a little bothersome, but enough to want remedies. I do thank you for your tips. I’m sure they will be helpful.
