Avoid Phone or Computer Before Bed After Late Workout

After a late workout, avoid getting on the phone or computer right before bed because cortisol is already elevated and bright light can worsen it.

1 / 1

don't get on your phone or computer right before getting into bed because you've already spiked your cortisol from that workout and your basal cortisol levels are low, and so it's a perfect time to send yourself into later hours of the night when your cortisol is way too high.
