“The telephone at night in bed destroys sleepiness and nerves without feeling!” Neurologists warn of blue light and give a prescription for comfortable sleepiness!

صحافة بلادي — The habit of browsing smartphones and social media platforms in bed at night has turned into a worrying phenomenon that worries doctors and families, after clinical studies proved its direct relationship to high rates of chronic insomnia, morning fatigue, and nervous tension in adults and children.

How does blue light stop the secretion of the sleep hormone?

Neurologists explain that the blue rays emitted from phone screens give the brain the illusion that it is still daytime, which disrupts the secretion of the hormone “melatonin,” which is responsible for deep sleep and renewing the body’s cells.

The 60-minute rule for healthy sleep and strong immunity

Doctors advise removing phones and screens from the bedrooms at least one hour before bedtime, and replacing them with quiet reading or drinking natural soothing herbs such as chamomile and verbena.
