Although this habit seems harmless, sleep specialists warn that using a phone late at night can interfere with the body&#8217;s natural sleep cycle. Over time, it may contribute to poor sleep quality, daytime fatigue, and difficulty concentr&#8230;<strong>Continue Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage-->One of the main concerns is the blue-rich light emitted by smartphone screens. This light can reduce the body&#8217;s production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for signaling when it is time to sleep. As a result, using a phone shortly before bedtime may make it harder to fall asleep. Stimulating content, including videos, messages, and social media, can also keep the brain active when it should be preparing for rest.<\/p>\n<p>Even when a smartphone is not being actively used, notifications, vibrations, and the temptation to check messages can interrupt sleep. Frequent awakenings may interfere with important sleep stages associated with memory, emotional balance, and physical recovery. While smartphones are not the only cause of sleep problems, keeping one nearby can encourage habits that make restful sleep more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Experts recommend avoiding screens for thirty to sixty minutes before bedtime and creating a relaxing evening routine. Reading a book, taking a warm shower, or practicing gentle stretching can help the body prepare for sleep. Keeping the phone across the room, silencing unnecessary notifications, and maintaining a cool, dark bedroom may also improve sleep quality. Small changes to nighttime habits can make a meaningful difference in how refreshed and energetic a person feels the following morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Millions of people fall asleep with their smartphones beside them, often scrolling through social media or watching videos until they feel tired.\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":47039,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 -
