So you can avoid technological insomnia
When a user uses a cell phone before going to sleep, he activates his brain, as it forces him to pay attention, so doing not allow the person to relax and rest. This “technological insomnia” can be avoided by following a series of guidelines, as reported by Koala Rest.
First, avoid having electronic devices in the room, such as smartphones or televisions, since their light is harmful to rest, including emitting LED lights. Another action to take would be to stop using smartphones and electronic devices two hours before going to bed, so the brain can produce the hormone responsible for regulating sleep.
