Will use the smartphone before bed affect your sleep quality?
Welcome to Blackview (well-known brand of rugged phones) blog. Hope the guide helps.
Yes, using your phone before bed can significantly impact your sleep quality.
The primary culprit is the blue light emitted by phone screens. This light suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. By reducing melatonin levels, your body is tricked into thinking it's daytime, making it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Beyond the blue light, the content on your phone can also disrupt sleep. Engaging with stimulating content like social media or emails can activate your brain, making it difficult to unwind and relax. Additionally, the constant notifications and potential interruptions from calls or messages can fragment your sleep and reduce its overall quality.
To improve your sleep, it's recommended to establish a wind-down routine that involves disconnecting from electronics at least an hour before bed. This allows your body to naturally produce melatonin and prepare for rest.
