The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Effects of Late-Night Screen Use and Stimulating Content on Sleep Patterns
Late-night screen use, particularly staring at screens until 1 am, can trick the optic nerve, impacting the body's natural clock, leading to a delayed circadian rhythm. This delay can result in sleep deprivation for individuals with fixed waking times. While blue light from devices may not directly cause insomnia, the engaging content can delay sleep and awaken the mind. Watching stimulating content, such as serial killer movies before sleep, is only problematic if it hinders falling asleep. This highlights the need for an individualized approach to sleep, as some people can handle stimulating content before bed while others may find it disrupts their sleep hygiene and weakens the association between bed and sleep, potentially leading to insomnia in the long term.
