The impact of technology on sleep is clear: blue light from screens suppresses melatonin and delays sleep onset[6][10]. Social media and late-night browsing can overstimulate your mind, while notifications disrupt rest. To minimize these effects, set a digital curfew 30-60 minutes before bed, turn off notifications, and remove devices from your bedroom. Use technology like meditation apps mindfully and avoid over-reliance on sleep trackers. Establishing healthy boundaries with digital devices can help you achieve deeper, more restorative sleep[6][10].
