Technology can disrupt sleep by suppressing melatonin and increasing alertness, especially if you use screens before bed[3][6][10]. Social media and late-night browsing overstimulate the mind, while notifications fragment rest. Set a digital curfew, use night mode features, and keep devices out of the bedroom. Sleep trackers and meditation apps can help, but don’t become obsessed with perfecting your sleep data. Focus on how you feel in the morning and seek professional help if technology is harming your sleep quality.
