How Screen Time Affects Sleep

We all know we shouldn't doomscroll before bed, but why exactly is it bad for us?

Blue Light and Melatonin

Screens emit blue light, which mimics daylight. This suppresses the production of melatonin, the hormone that signals your body it's time to sleep.

Mental Stimulation

Beyond the light, the content itself keeps your brain active. Engaging with emails or social media prevents your mind from winding down.

Better Habits

Try to stop using screens an hour before bed. If you must use a screen, use night mode filters and tools that help you focus on one thing at a time rather than rapid-fire content consumption.
