In today's digital age, many people scroll their phones before going to sleep. However, scientific studies reveal that this habit negatively impacts brain function.
The blue light emitted from phone screens reduces melatonin production — a hormone responsible for sleep regulation. This delays sleep onset and reduces deep sleep phases. As a result, the brain doesn’t rest properly, leading to poor memory, attention issues, and mental fatigue.
Engaging with social media, messages, or videos before bed keeps the brain overstimulated. This can cause anxiety, irritability, and reduced emotional control the next day.
Experts recommend turning off digital screens at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Instead, one can read a book, listen to calming music, or do deep breathing exercises to prepare the brain for rest.
