HOW TECHNOLOGY AFFECTS YOUR SLEEP

            HOW TECHNOLOGY CAUSES INSOMNIA AND AFFECTS YOUR SLEEP.



Can technology really affect sleep? Probably. Studies and research shows that several technology-related products and services can affect the quality of our sleep.

Technology has already been taken over the show (hello, smart TVs and DVD DVR) and cooking (think: programmable ovens and applications recipe instead of cookbooks), and now has its permanent positions in the room. Probably the most obvious change in our routines before sleep these days is that many people are screwed in bed with a smartphone or tablet instead of a book or magazine. In fact, 95 percent of people use some form of electronic device, at least a few nights a week during the hour before bedtime. This makes it difficult to sleep. Reading a e-mails or staying awake staring on your smartphone for a long time before going to bed allows you to stay updated with stress, light blue screens mimic daylight and is stimulated.Then you wake up with the feeling of fatigue, anxiety and depression . That's why you must turn off the devices at least 30 minutes before bedtime.

That said, technology is not bad at all. It also helps sleep it is well utilized. For example, the Sleep Number mattress company recently unveiled a new "smart bed". It tracks sleep patterns through your body temperature and movement, and adjusts to different situations. For example, if your partner snores, you can use a function that naturally adjusts  his or her present sleep position to stop the noise.

There is also a new bulb having a microprocessor incorporated therein, all in order to help you sleep better. It is called the Light drift. Screw a table lamp and run like any other bulb. But the activation mode "midnight" by turning on, off, and on, and slowly fade in the dark for 37 minutes (as would happen during a sunset). Another light, the Philips Wake-Up Light will do the opposite in the morning and gradually brighten in the 30 minutes.

avoiding phone calls and computer games before bed is also recommended. Additionally, scientists studying sleep is the "eviction" of mobile phones and computers in the bedroom. Blue light (light blue) is considered responsible for the natural rhythm disorders.

The use of mobile phones, computers, tablets and video games before bedtime or during the night, "stealing" some of your precious time to sleep, experts note. Extensive research has shown that LED lighting technology in electronic devices, negatively affects the pace, both sleep and wakefulness.

Therefore, experts recommend having someone sleep at night properly, turn off the computer 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime in bed Researchers found that even modern technology slow process screens sleep and wakefulness LED. These devices emit blue light at a wavelength of 464 nanometers, which maintains the alert of the body.

This light is guided through the eye to the brain complicating the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. Sleep is even more difficult with surfing and conversations (chat) Internet. The mesolimbic system of the brain is stimulated when you get a response, so lonely people who are in front of the computer screen, rather than relax and sleep.

Undoubtedly, technology has many advantages. Many people think they are using technology to their advantage. They are right. If you are looking for a man for applications for self-improvement, it is well, but if you plan to spend much time in it. Then it can cause problems.

Other studies show that if you deal with an electronic device in the last hour before going to bed, then you may need more than one hour of sleep, when you go to sleep. Especially the use of a computer, smartphone and MP3 just before bedtime, greatly increases the difficulty falling asleep.

"It is a huge problem, especially when the technology is discussed," said Sarah Loughran, a sleep specialist at the University of Wollongong, south of Sydney. "We are talking about smartphones -., As well as iPads, TVs, tablets A considerable measure of these things is in the room.

The timing of the introduction of the light-dark cycle is the means by which the stronger the circadian clock, time keeps the natural body, it is synchronized with the 24-hour day, exploring Czeisler found. He began to consider the effect of circadian state of mind at rest, in 1972 and has exhibited 200 works and exploratory investigations articles on the subject. He estimates that since the beginning of the energy injected light triggers the rest within individuals were postponed for six hours.

There is another reason for PC, phones and other innovations can irritate the rest when used immediately before bedtime, says the University of Wollongong Loughran. Drawing in the mind with data that is energizing or provocation can trigger hormonal elements reactionsPsychology and other lovers, including the arrival of adrenaline.
