Just like your body, it’s important to wake up with our phone full of energy and ready for the day. And usually when we plug our phones in, we’ll do a quick check of social media before bed. We thought this was perfectly okay, who hasn’t been guilty of nodding off to a little Netflix?Now that people are starting to use their phones habitually before bed, we’re starting to understand the effects that screens can have on your brain and your sleep patterns. Melatonin is a sleep hormone that your body naturally produces, and when you’re exposed to bright lights before bed your body produces less melatonin. This makes it harder to fall asleep, and when you’re bored in bed you might just pick up your phone again and start scrolling. But this will only make things worse.A lack of sleep can lead to a lot of difficulties during your day. When you sleep your brain is getting a chance to rest, but special cells called glial cells actually go through your brain at night and clean up the toxins that the neurons in your brain produce. When you let these toxins linger in your brain your attention goes down, your memory is limited, and your problem solving abilities are hurt. Letting these toxins hang around your brain can lead to long term cell damage as well.Using your phone before bed can lead you to wake up with a “cellphone hangover”, meaning that your brain power is limited and your thinking is slowed down. It’s similar to a real hangover, but taking another shot in the morning won’t help you.Internet AddictionYour bodies insulin levels are even affected, which means that in the end you could actually gain weight by looking at your phone before bed. All of your time spent working out could be undone by a late night tweet or scroll through Instagram!To help fight the negative side effects of looking at screens at night, some people suggest giving yourself an hour without screens before bed. That can be a hard thing to do when all the good TV is on late at night and when Netflix/porn is always waiting for you. There’s lots of things you can do before bed that don’t involve screens: Reading a book, exercising (wink wink), or listening to music can all be great tasks to burn you out before sleep.If you are going to use screens late at night, there’s a few things you can do. You can use an app like Flux that filters the light that your laptop is putting out, or you can even lower the brightness on your device. Sending a quick text would be better than watching a tv show or movie, and you can always buy melatonin to help you sleep better naturally, but we suggest trying everything else before going down that route kids.Remember before looking at your screen late at night: unplug and unwind to undo the damage your phone has done to you.[Via BuisnessInsider]PREVIOUS ARTICLEAOKI'S HOUSE PODCAST EPISODE #195NEXT ARTICLESCIENCE TELLS US IT'S TIME EVERYONE STARTED EATING BUGSRELATED POSTSBill nye leadBILL NYE HELPED STEVE CUT NEW TRACK AT FAST COMPANY INNOVATION FESTIVALEDITORNOVEMBER 11, 2015TECHNOLOGYNovember 11th, 2012 @ 03:17:07PLAYING ACTION VIDEO GAMES CAN ACTUALLY MAKE YOU SMARTEREDITORNOVEMBER 10, 2015HEALTHPRODUCT OF THE DAYBuy with Fancy Vintage wood craftsman box turned BoomCase.
