It seems our parents may have been right when they told us not to watch TV or stare at our phones before bed, because now science agrees.Essentially, by staring into our screens just before bed, we're actually soaking up a "stream of photons" - which tell our brains that we want to stay awake. Helpful.When it's time for sleep, our brains naturally secrete melatonin, which allows us to switch off, but consuming all this digital information prevents us from doing so. So that's probably why you've found yourself tossing and turning for an hour or so before you can actually switch off at night.But the damage, unfortunately, isn't just tiredness the following day caused by a later bedtime. By staying awake, we don't allow those precious neurons of ours to rest, and we also prevent the supportive 'glial' cells from cleaning up the toxins that our neurons have emitted throughout the day.BAD TIMES. So let's all put down those phones, shut off those iPads and start listening to science, yeah?
