27 | Having Trouble Sleeping? The Blue Light Truth About Evening Screen Time Every Tired Person Needs to Know

Ever feel physically tired but mentally wired when your head hits the pillow?

You’re not crazy—and it’s not just stress. 

It’s probably blue light.

Yep. The invisible kind glowing from your phone, your TV, even your overhead lights is hijacking your brain’s ability to rest. It suppresses melatonin, confuses your circadian rhythm, and leaves you wide awake at midnight wondering what’s wrong with you.

In this episode I break down exactly how blue light affects your sleep and your spiritual clarity.

This one’s a blend of neuroscience and Scripture, because understanding how your brain works is powerful, but it’s even more powerful when paired with God’s design for rest. You were created for deep, healing, God-designed sleep. 

Inside the episode, I share:

• What blue light actually does to your brain
• Why it’s not enough to just “put your phone down”
• A 4-step evening routine that changed my sleep (and mornings)
• The spiritual cost of chronic sleep deprivation (this one hit me hard)
• If you’re ready to stop waking up groggy and start reclaiming the rhythms God designed for your restoration, I think this one will really speak to you.

And if you’re up for it—I’ve got a 7-day Blue Light Sleep Challenge inside that’ll help you test this for yourself (and feel the difference fast).

Your well-rested, more focused, more peaceful future self will thank you.
