TV Shows to Avoid Before Bed for Better Sleep

  • Crime Dramas: Suspenseful plots may increase stress levels before sleep.
  • Reality TV: Competitive or dramatic reality shows can be emotionally stimulating.
  • News & Documentaries: Heavy topics may cause mental unrest before bed.
• Better Choices for Sleep:
  • Nature Documentaries: Soothing visuals and narration can create a calming effect.
  • Lighthearted Comedies: A good laugh can reduce stress and promote relaxation.
  • Classic Movies: Nostalgia can help ease the mind into a restful state.
  • Mindfulness & Relaxation Shows: Programs focused on meditation and sleep hypnosis can aid in winding down.

Additional tips for better sleep include dimming lights, reducing screen exposure before bedtime, and engaging in calming activities like reading or listening to soft music.
