10 Causes of Insomnia
Cause #4: Using Your Smartphone Or Tablet In Bed
Are you the type of person that spends every available moment on social media? This is probably the reason you have difficulty falling asleep. Recent studies, including one by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, have found that backlit smartphone, tablet and computer screens can disrupt sleep.
This suggests that using these items in bed or just before going to bed can affect your sleep pattern, including keeping you awake long after you decide to sleep. It can also worsen your insomnia if you already suffer from it. For better sleep health, avoid using these electronics prior to your bedtime. Better still; keep them out of your bedroom.
