DISCOVERED OTHER NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF MOBILE IN BED

Using technological devices hours before sleep, not only removes you sleep and impairs cells of the eyes, but recent findings say that can cause various types of cancer.

We have heard that the use of technological devices before bedtime can hurt him, but new research suggests that the problem is even more serious.

Reading from an iPad before bed not only makes it more difficult to sleep, but also affects drowsiness and alertness the next day, according to new research from Birgham Hospital in Boston.

The study was published in the journal of the National Academy of Sciences in the US on Monday, saying that the findings can affect anyone who uses an electronic book reader, laptop, smartphone or TV set before bedtime.

New research supports the conclusion from previous studies, which have also discovered that the attitude in front of a screen before going to sleep can be harmful.

"We know from previous studies that light from the screens in the evening changing sleep and vitality and reduces levels of melatonin," said Anni-MarieChang doctor, a neuroscientist at the department of hospital Birgham sleep.

"This study shows the results of a comprehensive direct comparison between reading with a device that delivers light and reading a print book and the consequences of their bedroom," said co-author of the study.

If you do not feel like a zombie during the day, the findings are clear: read a printed book if you want to stimulate the mind before bedtime and avoid the screens if they have any fundamental importance to your life.

Chang said that lack of sleep, not sleeping enough or poor quality sleep, is associated with other health problems like obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Chronic suppression of melatonin is also associated with increased risk of some cancers, she said.

It is not necessary to say that sleep brings many benefits to the lack of it is a bad idea.

The study lasted for two weeks and involved 12 participants who read on an iPad for four hours before bedtime for five consecutive days, a process that was repeated with printed books. For some, the chronology was different: they started first with the printed books and then switched to iPads.

Readers on iPad had a longer time to fall asleep, felt less sleepy at night and had shorter REM sleep compared with those who read books, found the researchers.

Readers iPad also secrete less melatonin, which helps regulate sleep. They were also more tired than readers of books in the next day, although they had made a full eight hours of sleep.

The consequences can be even more serious than what the researchers observed in their search. Chang said that because iPad users were more alert, people see before sleep screens stay awake later than was allowed in the study participants, destroying even more sleep.

If you have very essential to use tablet, mobile phone or your computer before you sleep, you must find a way to make it safer.

Try to use a filter that blocks blue light, even has an app on Android that does the same or can purchase a natural filter for your iOS device.

Researchers have discovered that blue light makes you more alert and more levels of melatonin decreases, damaging therefore your quality of sleep.

"The best recommendation is to avoid screens that emit light before bedtime," says Chang. "For those who have needed these devices in the evening, use technology that filters out blue light, to reduce the impact somewhat."

Light blue

Light can bring damage and vision benefits and our health. The natural light of the sun contains both ultraviolet light and blue light. We all know the harmful effects of ultraviolet light and put sunglasses to prevent long-term damage. But what we know about the blue light?

Blue light, which is part of the spectrum of light seen by the eye, reaches deeper into the eye and has a cumulative effect that can cause damage to the retina and degradation associated with the development of age-related macular.

Blue light enters your eyes not only through natural sources like the sun. Our eyes also absorb blue light from digital sources daily. Over time, our eyes are exposed to many technologies that emit blue light, such as computers, televisions or telephones. This accumulation of exposure to this light has the potential to damage retinal cells, as revealed recently.
