Video games, use of laptops and sending text messages before going to bed are responsible for the increased number of people who suffer from insomnia, according to some experts. A U.S. study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation shows that 95% of respondents are using electronic devices before going to bed, and two-thirds of them admit to having difficulty falling asleep.
Charles Czeisler of Harvard Medical School told Reuters news agency that exposure to artificial light before going to bed inhibits the production of melatonin. A third of people with an age between 13 and 18 years and 28% of respondents with an age range from 19 to 29 years admit to playing video games before going to bed.
Would be particularly children to suffer the harmful effects of these habits. "Compared to a century ago, the boys are sleeping one or two hours less per night. That means they are losing at least 50 hours of sleep each month," says Czeisler. "If they want their children to do well in school, parents dopvrebbero remove these devices from a child's bedroom."
