So, here I just want to warn you that hanging the mobile all time with you this behavior is really unhealthy for you, and having this type of health problem have many factors. And have you ever feel that you don’t able to sleep well right after you have spent hours in front of a screen? But now, science can tell you the answer to your question that why this happens to you?
Cognitive Stimulation
The simple effect that watching a bright screen right before bed has is the fact that you don’t get tired enough to sleep. Before you go to bed, your body has to wind down properly. However, with the introduction of brightly lit entertainment, this often feels impossible! The video games that you play, the incessant stalking you do on Facebook, the last-minute reading of notes on your iPad – all of these combine to increase stress in your body. Our body reacts to these modern acts of humanity in the Paleolithic way, i.e. using the fight-or-flight response.
Melatonin
The basic issue here is not necessarily the cognitive stimulation that you receive through these forms of technology. What really affects you is the bright blue-tinged light that these screens emit. To produce white light, these electronic devices must emit light at short wavelengths, which makes them potential sources that suppress or delay the onset of melatonin release in the evening, thus reducing sleep duration and disrupting sleep.
How does it matter?
Well, it really does matter, actually. The disruption in the circadian rhythm of the body (sleep cycle), increases risk for diabetes and obesity, as well as the risk for more serious diseases, such as breast cancer, if it occurs for many consecutive years, such as in nightshift workers. The neurotoxins that are built up during the day can’t get cleaned unless you have a good night’s sleep. Those neurotoxins then hang around in your brain, making you groggy, impairing your memory and attention span. Not to mention, your metabolism will be ruined.
Solution to the problem
Of course, the best solution is to turn off the damn phones and computers and read a book instead. Surprisingly, e-book reading devices like Kindle have completely eliminated shorter blue wavelengths to give you a better bedtime read. In other words, read a book, fellas, whether a physical one or a digital one. Your favorite celebrity’s Twitter feed will still be waiting for you tomorrow!
