Technology can disrupt sleep by delaying bedtime and interfering with the body’s melatonin production. Blue light from screens is a major culprit, but mental stimulation from social media and news can also keep your mind active. To minimize these effects, set a digital curfew at least an hour before bed, use blue light filters, and keep devices out of the bedroom. Consider apps that promote relaxation or track your sleep patterns. By managing your tech habits, you can reclaim restful nights and wake up feeling refreshed.
