Gone are the days when
bed time stories were a routine or reading a good novel maybe. It seems so
ancient for today. These days we see people lying in the bed in a dark room and
only a small blue light shining onto their faces. Yes, this is the blue light
from their smart phones.
People check their Facebook feed or see how many likes their new Instagram picture has got or the most common - chats on What’s app. Checking mobile just before going to sleep has become a universal routine or habit just like eating or breathing.

Thought we all know that
before going bed, is the only time we get from our busy life where we can
connect with people or socialise even if virtually. We get to know all the
updates from the day right in our hands so definitely everybody is liable to
check phones before sleep. But doctors and researchers all over the world do
not think so. They have discovered that using smart phones before sleep is the
most wrong thing we do to ourselves and it has very dangerous effects on our
health.
You might think that I
am going to tell you about the harmful radiations smart phones emit which may
cause cancer and all that blah blah which you have seen read and heard for a
thousand times. But not today, I will go one step further and talk about the
blue light which your smart phones emit and the numerous health hazards caused by that light.
Reason behind these problems
We all know that the sun's
light has a full spectrum of colours so we are already exposed to blue light in
the day time, which is okay As it is natural. But at night time we are again
exposed to the blue light through the screens of our phones, laptops and LED
TVs. Now this exposure may be the reason you and many small kids today are
wearing spectacle. Yes it can damage your eye sight, as well as suppress the melatonin
production- the hormone which helps you sleep. And most of us thought that
surfing phones before sleep helps reduce stress....funny isn't it?
According to
researchers, smart phones and tablets are associated with following health
problems:
1. Affecting your Sleep and Brain
Talking about melatonin
again, it regulates your body's sleep/wake cycle. Using smart phone before
sleep disrupts its regular secretion and brings the melatonin level down in
your body; this causes loss of sleep and in turn, leads to various health problems
which include:
Cardiovascular
Problems
Slower
Response Time
Lack
of Memory Recall
It may ruin your sex
life
Makes you feel
"hangover"
Leukemia
Leukemia
2. Increased risk of Cancer
So till now hopefully
your misconception about smart phones reducing stress might have broken. Now
you know that in fact, the blue light from phones cause sleep problems. And a
person with less sleep will always be more stressed, tired and feel irritable also
disturbed sleep increases the risk of Prostate cancer and Breast cancer.

As I told you earlier
that the blue light exposure reduces the secretion of the hormone named
melatonin which is a very powerful anti oxidant and our body's natural defense
against cancer.
So this way by using your phones just before sleep on a regular basis you are letting your guards down in front of a very deadly and most of the times incurable disease.
Unfortunately, the cell phone radiations/electromagnetic/radio frequency has the ability to penetrate human bodies and may cause damages. Thousands of research says, using a cell phone a half hour a day may increase risk of brain tumor by 30 percent.

3. Does looking at your phone affect
your eyes?
We are often told by our
elders not to read while lying on the bed as this causes stress to our eyes.
Now if you use your smart phones before you sleep then you are not only reading
or watching while lying on the bed also you are exposed to the blue light. When
we are lying we tend to hold the phone closer than usual. This can lead to loss of central
vision, macular degeneration
and cataract.
One doctor shares the
story of a 35-year old patient whose eyes with cataracts were in similar
condition to those of a 75-year old. He says the main reason for this was smart
phone use before sleeping even though this case requires further studies but
the primary reason is this.
So tonight as you lie on
the bed and prepare to sleep by browsing the internet better think of what you
have read and the consequences of using smart phones before sleeping.
