Research over the past decade has shown a bidirectional influence, where technology can affect sleep positively or negatively depending on the individual.

In this podcast I talk about screen time, sleep and what the research really tells us about technology use before bed. This is a replay of a Neurolive webinar I did on my app. For the full webinar AD-free, please see Neurocycle.app look for Neurocycle on the App Store or Google Play.

As technology advances, our sleep duration decreases. Or, so we have been told. But, are these two phenomena directly connected? And does this apply to all age groups? When it comes to our circadian rhythm, is screen time always a bad thing?
