問題詳情:
About 35 percent of British adults sleep with teddy bears. Many more share a bed with a partner or spouse. Others still co-sleep, alongside children in a family bed.
But what about sleeping with your iPad? A recent survey found that 68 percent of iPad owners use the device in the bedroom, more than in any other location. The living room took a close second place, at 63 percent, and only 45 percent of participants said they use them on the go.
“It’s just a lot comfortable to be in bed with the iPad,” Joe Alvarado said. “It's really convenient for searching the Web, reading newspapers, Facebook, Twitter, and all that stuff.”
But bringing devices into the bedroom is a bad idea, if your goal is to have a quality rest. One of the most leading causes of feeling sleepy is darkness, which signals to the brain that it's time to start producing the sleep-related hormone. But in our modern world, we are exposed to light long after the sun sets. While any type of light can disturb your sleep, the blue wave light released by cell phones, laptops, iPads and other devices is particularly disturbing. Research shows that this blue light causes awareness -- so greatly that it can actually be used to fight sleepiness or tiredness.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, 95 percent of Americans use some device, whether it's a TV, laptop, cell phone or others, within an hour of going to bed. “Artificial light exposure between dusk and the time we go to bed at night ... shifts biological clock and rhythms to a later hour -- making it more difficult to fall asleep,” Charles Czeisler, professor and director at Harvard Medical School said in a statement.
Instead, experts recommend turning off all devices an hour before bedtime and finding another method for falling asleep, like reading a book, taking a warm bath or performing a series of calming yoga poses. It's also a good idea to exercise and get relaxed several hours before bedtime.
