The relationship between technology and sleep is well documented. Exposure to blue light from screens suppresses melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep and reducing sleep quality. Overstimulation from digital content can further disrupt rest. To minimize these effects, set a digital curfew at least 30 minutes before bed, use blue light filters, and keep electronics out of the bedroom. Replace evening screen time with relaxing activities like reading or meditation. Managing technology use can significantly improve your sleep quality and overall wellbeing.
