The human body evolved long ago to be awake during daylight hours, and asleep at night, when lighting is significantly reduced. Now that we have artificial light from not only light bulbs and televisions, but also from phones, tablets, and computers; our nighttime artificial light exposure has gone way up. Being exposed to light at night causes suppression of melatonin, the hormone that makes you tired. While it is difficult to reduce light exposure before bed (most of us have hardwired that pesky habit of watching TV or checking our email before we snooze), wearing a sleep mask can help eliminate light exposure during sleep, which can make a big difference. We are meant to sleep in total darkness. ( ref)
