But now there’s one hack sleep researcher Glenn Landry swears by – wearing sunglasses before bed.

Once behaviour reserved for celebrities or the extremely hungover, wearing sunnies indoors is said to reduce your exposure to bright light and help keep your body clock regulated.

With your eyes exposed to everything from laptops, phones and TV screens, throwing shade indoors is one way of helping you snooze better.

"Beginning at eight at night, two hours before [the] time I want to go to bed, I wear sunglasses" Glenn told CBC News. I'm trying to avoid light. I’m trying to tell my clock that this is the end of the day."
