WHEN YOU SLEEP WITH LIGHTS ON, YOU

SHORTEN YOUR LIFESPAN AND INVITE

DISEASES
Prof. Gilbert Ezengige
So much renewal and growth take place at night time.
1. Do you know that your body produces a hormone known as melatonin
and that this hormone is only produced during the night?

2. Do you know that THE DARKER THE ROOM YOU SLEEP IN, THE
GREATER THE PRODUCTION OF THIS USEFUL MELATONIN by
your pineal gland?

3. Do you know that this melatonin PROTECTS THE CELLS OF YOUR

BODY?

4. Do you know that this melatonin is AN ANTI-STRESS HORMONE?

5. Do you know that this melatonin is an ANTI-AGING HORMONE?

6. Do you know that this melatonin ENHANCES SLEEP and BOOST

YOUR IMMUNITY?

7. Do you know that this melatonin INHIBITS the multiplication of

CANCER CELLS?

8. Do you know that this melatonin helps to LOWER BLOOD

PRESSURE?

9. Do you know that this melatonin POSITIVELY affects MENSTRUAL

CYCLE and FERTILITY?

10.Do you know that this melatonin maintains your body’s internal clock
mechanism?
11.Do you know that ONCE MELATONIN RELEASE commences IN
THE DARK AND YOU SWITCH ON LIGHTS IN YOUR BEDROOM,
THE PRODUCTION OF MELATONIN CEASES IMMEDIATELY
and will never be restored again for that night till the following night?

12.Do you now understand why melatonin is called the “SHY”

HORMONE or HORMONE OF “DARKNESS”?

13.CAN YOU NOW UNDERSTAND WHY YOU SHOULD NOT SLEEP

IN THE NIGHT WITH THE LIGHTS ON?

14.If you wake up at night to ease yourself, a bed lamp or torchlight

emitting close to ORANGE RAYS (DEEP SUNSET COLOUR), amber
colour or candle light is recommended to facilitate your movements.
The deep sunset colour is the only light wavelength that does not shut
down melatonin production at night. All other light spectrum or
colours, in varying degrees, shut down the production of this important
melatonin. BLUE LIGHT IS THE WORST OF ALL LIGHT TO USE
AT NIGHT DURING SLEEP. MELATONIN CAN NOT BE
PRODUCED UNDER BLUE LIGHT.

15.Do you know that when, from sleep, you suddenly wake up in the night
to answer phone calls, that the light from your phone’s screen interferes
with the release of this beneficent, health-promoting hormone?

16.NOW WHAT DO WE DO?

if you are using a smart phone, before you go to bed, click on the
‘eyecare’ icon and that will cast a SUNSET COLOUR ON YOUR
PHONE’S SCREEN. Should a call come in at night, you may answer it
without melatonin production shutting down. If your device does not
have an inbuilt blue filter mechanism, download any BLUE FILTER
APP from PLAY STORE and activate it every night before you sleep.
The blue filter app will give a sunset cast to your phone’s screen at
night.

17.GOD is great, FREE MELATONIN SUPPLY AT NIGHT, IN YOUR

SLEEP, AT NO COST; just sleep in dark rooms without switching on
wrong lights.
REMEMBER, NATURE IS STRICT AND IS NO RESPECTER OF
PERSONS.
