#84 - Sleep and Smart Phones: No One’s Answering
Manage episode 398154203 series 3365942
The research on sleep and cell phone use is negative and there is an overwhelming amount of it. The negative impacts on sleep affect all age groups and demographics. While the impact on mood, memory, and attention is clearly sizable, the impact on sleep exists independently from these effects. In this episode we will:
- Examine the effects of cell phone use in three populations: adults, college-age students, and adolescents/school-aged children
- Determine the scope of cell phone use at bedtime and beyond
- Measure the impact phone use has on sleep, including sleep onset, sleep quality, and sleep amount
- List the features of phone use at night that may explain the detrimental effects
- Review the impact curtailing cell phone use at night can have one sleep
