Electronics and Sleep

Many electronic devises can interfere with your sleep.

The lights on your alarm clock or cell phone may be enough to disrupt your sleep
Try:
Turn off wireless router when going to sleep.  I have tried this the last couple of nights, and I feel much more rested even with the same amount of sleep

Remove cellphones and cordless phones from the bedroom

Cover up LCD alarm clocks with a pillow

Using electronics before bed may also be to blame

When you send emails or watch tv you are stimulating brain activity. When your brain is active right before you turn out the light, it wont be ready to sleep
Try:

Having a 15-30 minute period between when you disconnect and when you go to bed
Make your bedroom electronic free
