I was surprised (after searching) not to find any posts on sleep hygiene, given that travel adversely impacts our sleep patterns so much. I thought I practiced good sleep hygiene but apparently I was wrong.
I'm thinking about this because I've had several sleepless nights in hotels and at home recently and also a new iPad. I've never been good at sleeping on planes but I almost always bounce back.
Apparently there is a connection that some researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute found, specifically that a few hours with a tablet before bed lowers your body's melatonin.
