Insomnia
Can technology make us
lose our sleep? Probably,
yes. Studies and
research done indicate that various
products and technologyrelated
services may also affect
the quality of our sleep.
So are avoiding phone calls
and computer games before bedtime.
Also, scientists studying
sleep constitute the “eviction”
of mobile phones and computers
from the bedroom. The blue light
(blue light) is considered responsible
for the natural rhythm disorders.
The use of mobile phones,
computers, tablets and video
games before bedtime or during
the night, the “stealing” part of
his precious time to sleep, note
the experts. Numerous investigations
have shown that LED
lighting technology in electronic
devices, negatively affects the
pace, both falling asleep and
waking.
Therefore, experts recommend
to have someone a proper night’s
sleep, power down the computer
30 to 60 minutes before lying
down on his bed. Researchers
even found that modern technology
LED screens slow process
of falling asleep and waking.
These devices emit blue light at
a wavelength of 464 nanometers,
which keeps the body alert.
This light is guided through
the eye to the brain complicating
the production of melatonin,
the sleep hormone. Sleep is
even more difficult with surfing
and conversations (chat) Internet.
The mesolimviko brain system
is stimulated whenever a
reply arrives, so the lonely people
to stay in front of the computer
screen, rather than relax
and sleep.
No doubt, technology have
many benifits. A large number of
people thinks that they are using
technology for their benefit.
They are right. If a man searches
for self improvement apps, he is
doing right but, if he will spend a
long time on it. Then it can cause
problems.
Other studies reveal that
if you deal with an electronic
device in the last hour before
going to bed, then you may need
more than an hour to fall asleep,
by the time you fall asleep. Especially
the use of a computer,
smartphone and MP3 player just
before bedtime, significantly
increases the difficulty in getting
to sleep.
"It's a monstrous issue, especially
when you discuss technology,"
said Sarah Loughran, a
sleep specialist at the University
of Wollongong, south of Sydney.
"We're discussing smartphones
— as well as iPads, TVs, tablets.
A considerable measure of these
things are in the bedroom.
The timing of introduction to
the light-dim cycle is the most
intense means by which the circadian
clock, the body's natural
time guardian, is synchronized to
the 24-hour day, Czeisler's exploration
found. He started considering
the effect of the circadian
mood on rest in 1972 and has
expounded on 200 exploratory
papers and survey articles on the
subject. He evaluates that since
the appearance of power fueled
light, individuals' inner rest triggers
have been pushed back 6
hours.
There's another reason PCs,
telephones and other innovation
can irritate rest when utilized
instantly before bed, says
the University of Wollongong's
Loughran. Drawing in the mind
with data that is energizing or
provocative can trigger enthusiastic
and other hormonal reactionsArticle
