Clean Sleeping: The New Wellness Trend

We might be aware clean eating for wellness, but what how much do we about clean sleeping?

Tipped the newest wellness trend, clean eating encourages bleary-eyed Aussies to adopt good sleeping practises from setting the right routine to creating the right ambience.

In light of the launch of Philips Hue Ambiance & Colour Candle & Hue White Ambiance Spot, which is designed to help maintain a natural and consistent sleep rhythm, Scientist and Philips Lighting Research Expert, Luc Schlangen shares his simple tips:

Set a sleep schedule: We are creatures of habit and establishing a regular bedtime routine will help you fall asleep easier and function better the next day.
Make time to unwind: Creating the right ambiance with reduced levels of warmer, sunset-like shades of white light before bedtime, supports the production of the sleep hormone melatonin production, therefore enhancing our sleep quality.
Turn off the tech: Tuck away your mobile phone, computer or tablet, and avoid stress or overstimulation prior to bedtime, as these can disrupt your ability to fall asleep.
