This was a refreshing* summary of modern sleep research, reinforcing what I hope becomes "common sense" about sleep: Avoid bright lights (computer monitors, TVs, tablets) near bedtime. Practice good "sleep hygiene" in your bed. Have a routine!
I've found that I wake up in a better mood when using a Philips "wake-up light" to supplement my usual alarm clock--even during summer. This was touched on in the article concerning how melatonin begins to decrease before waking, something you can trigger with exposure to light.
* The article's also refreshing because it appears to be written solely to provide information and not a subtle "submarine" article carefully crafted to raise awareness of some new startup or service.
