Vera Larina of Pirogov University warned that using electronic devices before going to bed disrupts biological rhythms and reduces physical activity. Studies have shown a correlation between the long use of smartphones and a decrease in physical activity.
The radiation from bright screens is close to daylight, so it is recommended to close computers, tablets, and phones at least one hour before bedtime. People should instead do something else that contributes to reading or relaxing.
Loud sounds and bright, rapidly changing pictures should also be avoided because they can cause emotional excitement and prevent calm sleep. “Most of the time, students fall asleep by phone and wake up on the phone. The dream is, of course, more restless and bad, because a fully covered dream is an integral part of human health. And therefore, of course, it is possible to do anything to improve sleep,” Larina said.
Effects of Screen Time
In the meantime, numerous studies confirm the growth of hypodynamia, which is a weakening of muscle activity caused by a still lifestyle, due to excessive use of electronic devices. The concept of screen time is associated with a still lifestyle that contributes to the development of hypodynamia and causes a decrease in working capacity that causes daytime drowsiness.
Long-term use of screens also leads to visual fatigue, a decrease in image and color perception, and a reduction in the speed of visual information processing. In modern medicine, the concept of insufficient health has become relevant as an intermediate situation between full wellness and illness.
