Studies have shown that using a smartphone before going to sleep impairs the proper functions of the nervous system and metabolism: if you’re a smartphone addict and you have trouble falling asleep, you may have to change your habits. You may have heard this before: watching your smartphone before sleeping does not help to make you have a good night’s rest, but do you really know why?
An American newspaper conducted a survey on the effects of using a phone before sleeping and after reading it, it is likely that you will sleep early tonight and away from your phone. Above all, it is helpful to perform a booster shot. The circadian cycle is the set of biological processes on an oscillating cycle of 24 hours. This cycle is controlled by exposure to light and it particularly regulates the secretion of a hormone called melatonin or sleep hormone. The latter is responsible for the sensation of fatigue and need for sleep. When the phone takes control, the problem is the light they produce.
When looking at your screen before going to bed, photons, which are particles of light, stimulate your brain in such a way that since there is light, it is not yet time to secrete melatonin. And since you do not feel tired, why not look at your phone a little? Thus, a really vicious cycle begins and it keeps you awake until your brain has had enough. In the end, you fall asleep two hours later than planned, and your sleep time is significantly reduced. In the long term, many valuable hours of sleep will be lost and it can have a serious impact on your mood and health in general. You want your sleep.
It is now known that a certain amount of sleep is necessary for the proper function of the nervous system and metabolism. An estimated 7-9 hours of sleep is required. Although researchers are just beginning to understand why sleep is so important, we now know that sleep contributes to the rest of active neurons, but more than that, sleep supports cells to “cleanse” toxins produced in the body. If you do not get enough sleep, these toxins remain, causing oscillations of attention, impaired memory and difficulty in solving problems.
