3) the state of your mind when you go to bed.

The complete list of environmental factors and lifestyle behaviours that can affect your sleep or are NOT good for you (and what to do about them)

  1. Electromagnetic pollution – electrosmog will affect melatonin production – reduce electro-smog; check the levels of electromagnetic pollution in your bedroom
  2. Wifi radiation – switch off wifi for the night!
  3. Dirty electricity – electrosmog will affect melatonin production
  4. Metal beds – any metal near your body can amplify electro-smog
  5. Metal spring mattresses – any metal near your body can amplify electro-smog
  6. Smart meters – unnecessary electrosmog

  8. Air pollution – get an air purifier and negative ions generator
  9. Humidity – get a dehumidifier
  10. Noise pollution – get double glazing windows or earplugs
