It could be due to the lousy, depressing news you watched last night! Researchers found negative media stories increase stress levels – especially among women – and make us more anxious during future nerve-wracking events… like an upcoming face-to-face with the boss. So experts say to skip the negative news at night – and watch a “Friends” rerun instead.

Maybe you’re emotionally wound up from watching the nightly news – or a gripping TV show. Try this: Read the most boring thing you can find. Sleep medicine specialist Dr. Christopher Winter calls it an anti-page-turner. Remember how you used to have to fight to keep your eyes open during reading assignments in school? That same impulse can help you fall asleep now, because reading helps the brain relax. It’s down to the repetition – page after page, line after line – which distracts you from thoughts that can keep you awake.

Are you having trouble falling asleep because of what you watch before bed?

According to the journal “Neuroscience,” watching anything intense, like scary movies or the nightly news, can make it harder to drift off.

Researchers explain that seeing intense images before falling asleep makes those unsettling images stick, which basically strengthens our memories of them. It also makes us more likely to dream about them, and even think about them the next day. So, researchers suggest avoiding those programs an hour before bed so they won’t affect your dreams or mood.
