💡 Pro Tips
- Replace the bracketed placeholders (e.g., “[Link to Blue Light Study]”) with actual URLs to relevant studies and resources for a more complete blog post.
- Specify particular Fitbit or Apple Watch models in the wearable tech section for increased relevance. You can also provide links to these specific product pages.
- Consider providing a specific timeframe for implementing changes (e.g., “Try these strategies for two weeks and track your progress”). Recommending the use of a sleep journal (digital or physical) can also be helpful.
