Yes: Light can delay the release of melatonin. You should consider a relaxtion routine before bed, turn off the electronics and try to obtain 7-9 hours of sleep. Sleep is important - if you are tired in the morning, you should evaluate your sleep habits and make appropriate changes. Sleep deprivation can have long-term health consequences.

Better sleep hygiene: These "sleep hygiene" interventions may help you sleep better: 1) Relax a few hours before bed; 2) Eliminate screen time before bed; 3) Take a warm bath, or try a warm foot soak or wearing warm socks; 4) Add aromatherapy (lavender helps induce sleep); 5) turn the lights low & read something calming; 6) try some guided imagery & deep breathing, & you'll drift off. (Ref. arthritis.org). Good night!
