1) Is there any device to 'measure' the quality of my sleep?
2) I'm trying to use earplugs while I sleep but I don't know if it improves my sleep quality because I tend to move a lot while I sleep and I'm afraid of damaging my ears. Any advice?
3) Do you think it's good to read with a Kindle instead of a paper book before sleeping or is it still considered as stressful on the eyes as a smartphone?
Thanks for all your content, it's helping me a lot, especially the exercises you include in each of your videos.
1) yea, there is a ton of sleep trackers out there. but since i've never used one, i can't tell you which ones are actually good. best check some online reviews
2) ive been using very soft ear plugs for years and have absolutely no problems.
3) I found this extensive answer on reddit:
"Hi! Physiologist here, who works closely with a lot of sleep scientists/techs. As many people have said on this thread, exposure to blue light does inhibit your ability to sleep. That being said, I believe you can just turn off the light option on your kindle, and then read with a warm light on in your room.
It's important to also mention, though, while your brain is not as stimulated/activated by reading (in a way that keeps you awake) as it is by internet surfing, reading before bed is still not the best way to wind down. Sleep scientists agree it's still better than being on your phone or computer, and some people insist that reading helps them fall asleep, but this really sort of depends on what kind of reader you are. If you find you're the type of person who can't put a book down, experiences a lot of emotional swings while reading etc, reading before bed may not be right for you.
Try not reading 30 minutes (kindle or otherwise) before your planned bed time as well as avoiding devices for about a week or so. See if it helps. I suggest this extreme option first bc you really REALLY need to sleep to function, so make that your priority before anything else. Then you can try reading a physical book before bed, then your kindle again."

Be honest: Have you been neglecting your sleep quality and quantity?
What are you going to do about it?
