Youtube profile and influencer Antonija Mandir sometimes only sleeps four hours a night.
– I want to do as much as I can in 24 hours, so my routines will not be good at all. My way of life, straight into the tile attitude, it won’t last long. I haven’t slept in six years, she says.
In the hope of being able to de-stress and find routines that will help her sleep, she visits Alsike monastery outside Knivsta, in the program “Sleep well”. There, she must leave her mobile phone, which may be a contributing factor to her sleep problems.
Screens activate the brain
– Blue light from screens has an impact on our internal clock, it signals to the brain that it is daytime and can influence when you feel you should sleep, says sleep researcher Christian Benedict.
He says that fixed routines can help those who have sleep problems. And that the screens can have a negative impact in more ways than through the blue light.
– Being constantly available via your mobile phone can be stressful for us when we are trying to unwind. Screens activate our brain, so it is important to put them away an hour or so before bedtime, he says.
