Night night. Your sleep environment matters more than you think.

Getting truly restorative sleep starts with a dark room. Research suggests that sleeping in total or near-total darkness may support not only better rest, but also overall heart health.

Why this matters:
Quality sleep helps your body repair tissue, regulate inflammation, balance hormones, and support healthy circulation. All of these play a role in healing, pain reduction, and even foot and ankle recovery.

A recent study found a connection between higher exposure to artificial light at night and an increased risk of heart disease. While this does not prove cause and effect, it highlights how nighttime light may interfere with the body’s natural recovery process.

Want to sleep darker tonight? Try these simple tips:
• Use blackout curtains or shades
• Wear a soft, comfortable sleep mask
• Dim lights about 60 minutes before bed and use warm bulbs
• Turn off the TV before sleep and use night mode on devices if needed
• Cover or remove small glowing lights from electronics

The takeaway:
Darkness isn’t just cozy. It’s an important signal that helps your body shift into rest and recovery mode.

Small changes to your sleep environment can support better rest and better health overall.

Have you heard of dark showering?

It’s a simple nighttime routine that many people find calming. Dark showering means taking an evening shower with the overhead lights turned off or dimmed, using soft lighting instead. The goal is to create a relaxing, spa-like environment that helps your body wind down before bed.

Why it may help:
A warm shower in the evening can relax tired muscles and support better sleep. Lower lighting also helps reduce stimulation, signaling to your brain that it’s time to rest.

Want to try it tonight?
• Use a night light or dim lamp
• Take a warm 5–10 minute shower
• Afterward, apply moisturizer, put on comfortable socks, and avoid screens for about 20 minutes

Safety reminder:
Always use a non-slip mat in the shower and keep some soft lighting on to help prevent slips and falls.

Small changes to your nighttime routine can make a big difference in how your body feels the next day.
