The Hidden Impact of Screen Time on Sleep – And How to Fix It
Why screens are disrupting your rest and what you can do to improve your sleep quality

Screens Before Bed: A Recipe for Poor Sleep 🛌

Using phones, tablets, or laptops late at night is a common habit, but did you know it can disrupt your sleep cycle? The blue light emitted by screens suppresses melatonin, a hormone essential for sleep. This makes it harder to fall asleep and reduces sleep quality.

📊 Quick Fact: Studies show that using screens before bed can delay sleep by up to 1 hour!

Why Poor Sleep Affects Your Focus and Mental Health 🧠

Sleep is essential for memory consolidation, focus, and emotional regulation. Skipping on deep sleep can leave you feeling:

• 😴 Tired and sluggish during the day

• 😵 More distracted and less productive

• 😟 Prone to stress and mood swings

🔎 Research Insight: A study by the National Sleep Foundation revealed that people using phones late at night were 68% more likely to report feeling tired during the day.
