"Morning Health Tip: Avoid This Common Habit for Better Sleep"
Naturopathic doctor Dr. Janine Bowring advises against checking your phone first thing in the morning, as it raises dopamine levels, overstimulates the brain and nervous system, and disrupts circadian rhythms. The EMFs and blue light from the phone can impact calcium channels, affecting metabolism, energy levels, and potentially causing headaches. Empowerment psychologist Jay Rai also warns that checking the phone immediately upon waking can skip important brain wave stages, prime the brain for distraction, and trigger stress responses, urging people to avoid negative stimuli and work-related interruptions in the morning.
