Sleeping in pitch darkness enables the body to synthesize and promote the melatonin
hormone, which suppresses the growth of breast tumors in ladies ( Dvorsky, Para 2). Sleeping
in darkness also encourages the release of other important body hormones, which include the
testosterone erythropoietin and the growth hormones. Sleeping in pitch darkness helps
metabolism, hence controlling obesity among many people (Kim, Para 4). Sleeping in pitch
darkness also induces the circadian rhythm, which hence encourages the production of
melatonin chemical. Sleeping with the lights off also ensures that an individual lowers their
chances of contracting some deadly ailments such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease or even
getting obese due to poor metabolism. Colon cancer is also caused by the act of sleeping
when the lights are on, especially in ladies (National Sleep Foundation, PARA 3).
The white noise machines have a major factor to play in inducing the sleep of an
individual. The white noise is useful in ensuring that people fall into a deep sleep, given that
the sound frequency is maintained (Lecher, Para 4). The other effects of the white noise fall
in the masking effect, which ensures that individuals do not get disrupted from their sleep by
outside noises because the white noise frequency is enough for the ear. White noise also
makes it possible for people to get asleep, especially the ones that sleep with their snoring
spouses (MacMillan, Para 2). The white noise is also effective in increasing the sensitivity of

response to underlying sounds, better than an individual can pick the noises in total silence
(Sanders, Para 4).
The body temperature, while sleeping, or waking up is of core importance. Research has
indicated that the most appropriate temperature, when an individual is sleeping is between 60
and 68 Fahrenheit, above or below which, an individual becomes restless (Tuck, Para 3). Too
high or too low temperatures cause insomnia among many people, who find it impossible to
either sleep in cold or hot rooms. The best room temperature for a good sleep depends on
individuals, although research has indicated that 65 degrees Fahrenheit are the most
appropriate temperature to induce a good sleep to people ( Reddy, Para 3). Sleeping at the
right temperature helps the body core temperature to drop and even adopt the room
temperature, which in turn makes it possible for an individual’s metabolic system to get into
effect and make them fall asleep. However, choosing the best temperature in which a couple
shall be sleeping is depended on the agreement between the two parties (Doheny, Para 3).
Light has a lot of effects to an individual, either, when going to sleep or even when waking
up. As human beings evolved to be diurnals, making them sleep in darkness, and not light,
then light has some effects on the people, either when waking up or going to sleep (Daily
Mail, Para 3). The light from the rising or the setting sun influences the circadian rhythm,
which in turn induces sleep. Being exposed to light during the day makes it possible for an
individual to fall asleep at night because the body can detect the difference between light and
darkness (Wooten, Para 4). When exposed to the rising sun, the light signals the brain that it
is time to wake up, no matter how an individual had slept the previous night. Being exposed
to the sunset induces the body to sleep because the warmth of the setting sun makes it
possible for the body to change its ambient temperature, based on the surrounding (Tolin,
Para 3).
