Late-Night Screen Time Increases Insomnia Risk by 59%, Study Reveals
A recent study published in Frontiers Psychiatry warns that using screens before bedtime significantly raises insomnia risk, especially among adolescents and young adults. Research involving over 45,000 Norwegian students indicated a 59% increase in insomnia risk linked to screen usage in bed. Each additional hour of screen time before sleep resulted in 63% higher insomnia risk and reduced sleep duration by 24 minutes. The study highlights that long-term screen exposure disrupts the body's natural sleep cycle, contributing to chronic sleep issues. Experts recommend a screen-free routine before bed to combat these effects.
