Harm of artificial light

(Artificial light emitted from every light source destroys sleep, but the biggest vandal is green light emitted from computers, smartphones, TVs and iPads.

People often don't appreciate sleep very much. How many times have you thought that sleep is a waste of time and hear someone say: 'I will sleep when I die' ? If you don't sleep enough, you may die earlier than you think.

Moreover, not getting enough sleep increases the rate of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and even overall mortality. Sleep is really important.

Today, we are less exposed to the sun during the day than exposure to artificial light at night. Meanwhile, electrical equipment contributes to sleep deprivation.

Here's how electronic devices undermine our sleep:

First, they emit very similar light to sunlight, making the brain mistaken for the daytime - even at night. This process cuts down melatonin production. In contrast, the inhibition of melatonin production increases stress hormones (mandatory hormones - increases blood pressure, increases blood sugar levels and has an immune resistance effect, which prevents immunity in the body) and increases production. gherlin hormones cause hunger, leading to "refrigerator attacks" at night.

Electrical equipment in the bedroom causes the brain to deal with many problems at the same time. Besides creating blue light, once again the electromagnetic field disrupts melatonin production.

Amazingly, small portable devices are more harmful to sleep than big screen TVs . Because these devices produce more blue light and are closer to the eyes. Place electrical equipment outside the bedroom if possible and make sure to turn them off at bedtime.
