Many experts now warn that keeping your phone close while sleeping may disrupt rest, strain your body, and even impact your mental well-being.
Poorer Sleep Quality
Your brain relies on darkness to release melatonin, the hormone that signals it is time to sleep. When you stare at your phone late at night, the bright screen can delay melatonin production. As a result, you may find it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Even if you eventually drift off, your sleep may be lighter and less restorative.
