The Impact of Screen Time on Your Rest: What Really Matters
Can’t sleep? Learn how screens before bed affect your rest and find simple steps to reclaim your sleep quality.
You deserve restful sleep. Your concerns about screens and sleep are valid and there’s a better way.
Why Sleep Matters
Less than 7 hours per night increases risk for obesity, stroke, diabetes, anxiety, and more
Poor sleep impacts attention, memory, and decision-making
How Screens Disrupt Sleep
Using screens 30 minutes before bed delays melatonin, disrupts REM, and lowers sleep quality
“Night owls” are even more affected than “morning people”
Practical Sleep Tips
Limit screens 30-60 minutes before bed
Use blue light filters
Charge devices outside the bedroom
Replace screen time with relaxing routines (reading, stretching, meditation)
You don’t have to settle for restless nights. Small changes tonight can mean better days tomorrow.
