A silk sleep mask is the solution for falling asleep as the light increases

Light has a major impact on the circadian rhythm, because if melatonin production is disrupted, it negatively affects the secretion of, for example, cortisol (the so-called stress hormone).
Light has an immediate effect on the body's own melatonin production.
In the light, the tiny pineal gland located in the upper part of the human diencephalon produces hardly any melatonin hormone, whereas in darkness melatonin production increases strongly.

You sleep better in the dark

Dark nights and increased melatonin production help not only with falling asleep but also with the quality of sleep.
Like falling asleep, quality sleep requires sufficient melatonin production, that is, darkness that lasts throughout the night.
The human body is accustomed to a certain circadian rhythm, and disrupting that rhythm with nighttime light may cause problems for the body's functions.
In Finland, the increased amount of light from spring to autumn always brings its own challenges, but city lights and, for example, a street lamp glowing outside the window also create sleep-disturbing light pollution that it is wise to protect yourself against.
