Is Your Cell Phone Interfering With Your Sleep?

Getting a good night’s sleep is important, but all too often we find ourselves tossing and turning rather than peacefully slumbering. Sure having a comfortable mattress or a memory foam mattress can help, but this isn't the only key to a good night's sleep. If you are suffering from insomnia, you might be surprised to learn that your cell phone could be the culprit.

Lighted Screens Can Interfere with Sleep

Scientific studies have proven again and again that lighted screens like computers, TVs and even smartphone screens can interfere with the body’s ability to produce melatonin, a chemical that prompts your body to fall asleep. This is one reason why sleep experts often recommend turning off the TV and the computer a few hours before bed.
The light from your cell phone screen can cause the same effects, especially if you use it often. If you want to sleep better, consider putting your smartphone down before bed time to give your body a chance to produce melatonin.

Cell Phones Can Wake You Up

The lights from your cell phone screen aren’t the only potential hindrance to sleep your phone can cause. Text messages, email alerts and phone calls can be equally disturbing. If your cell phone regularly goes off during the night, you may want to consider silencing it before you head to bed. Interrupting sleep can disrupt critical sleep cycles, making you feel tired, even after a full night’s rest. Putting the phone on silent is an easy way to combat middle of the night phone calls and can greatly improve your quality of sleep.

Other Things to Try

In addition to turning off your cell phone, there are other tactics you can use to reduce insomnia. Getting a comfortable mattress is key. If you wake up in the morning feeling tired and sore, it may be time for a new mattress. Having the proper support at night will keep you from tossing and turning. An adjustable bed or a memory foam mattress such as a Tempur-pedic is often the most comfortable way to sleep. Adding a memory foam topper to your current mattress might make a difference.

Cell phones are an important part of modern life, but if you aren’t careful they can get in the way of your sleep. These tips in addition to a comfortable mattress will help you combat insomnia so you can sleep better at night and feel better in the morning.
