Myth No. 2: Carrying a smartphone to bed is OK
Who wouldn’t want to check their social media accounts one final time before turning them in? However, studies have connected nocturnal smartphone use to issues falling asleep, shorter sleep duration, fatigue during the day, and even mood disorders.
When you use your phone, blue light floods your eyes, stopping the generation of melatonin, the hormone that controls your biological clock. A full hour before going to bed, experts advise avoiding all LED spectrum lights.
Bottom line: Avoid using your cell phone at night because of its dangerous blue light. Use a vintage alarm clock to help you get out of bed.
