A study of more than 45,000 Norwegian university students has shown that using screens in bed is strongly associated with insomnia symptoms and lower sleep duration. Researchers suspect that this is because screen time displaces sleep by taking up time when people would otherwise be resting. However, using social media was not found to be more harmful than other forms of screen use.
Yep, I try to sleep, and after maybe 20 minutes or longer I go look at my phone for a bit to get tired, or watch some video. That actually makes me fall asleep most of the time, so maybe screen use reduces insomnia and people are just self-medicating 🤔
key thing here is you tried to sleep first
I’ve started to sometimes go straight to watching a video and actually fall asleep faster this way most of the time
