Did you know that using your phone before bedtime can directly affect how you sleep and how much you sleep at night?
Many of us spend hours and hours doing all sorts of activities with our cell phones from reading, listening to music, being on any social netwrk chatting for hours and hours until we even use it as a working tool! Sincerely for many of us it has become a kind of obsession to have our smartphone in our pocket. But have you thought about the consequences of using these devices day by day? Surely not so let me tell you that if you use these devices for many hours in a row you can have serious problems.
In 2011, an investigation was made on the foundation of the dream, in which it was shown that more than 43% of Americans had problems sleeping and claimed to spend bad nights often. The mos surprising thing was that 95% Of these people constantly used technology devices like smart TVs, tables and / or smartphone before going to sleep.
I'll give you 3 reasons why you should stop using your smartphone before bed.
- Cancer!! Yes, as you are scientifically reading it, it has been proven that it could cause you to have breast or prostate cancer. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant and is a natural weapon against the cancer, but it is suppressed by the "blue light". If this happens once, it might not be a huge health problem, but the continued use of smart phones at bedtime causes serious health problems.
- Radiation! Did you know that your phone emits a radiation? Yes, and although there are still many things we do not know about this, in 2008 a study was carried out in which a certain amount of people were exposed to these radiations for 3 hours of going to sleep, the result was that these people Had much more trouble sleeping peacefully and keeping in a deep sleep.
- Your internal biological relog is disordered. It's not just the cell phone at night. Also illuminated LCD screens and tablets generate a similar effect. Dr. Alejandro Andersson, a neurologist and medical director of the Buenos Aires Institute of Neurology, explained: "The type of light radiation they emit produces two phenomena of transcendence for sleep rhythms: on the one hand, they affect the natural period of sleep , Reducing it to levels of danger.On the other, they add a distorting factor, because the light of the monitor at that moment delays our biological clock.
