Researchers from the Mayo Clinic in of The United States conducted a study in which determined how to use a smartphone or tablet at night so as not to affect the quality of sleep.
The bright light from the screen of the smartphone or the tablet affects the quality of sleep. And the effect is bad, because it violates the release of melatonin, which is responsible for how well we sleep.
However, recently conducted research has proven that the use of gadgets at bedtime is still possible, but with some reservations.
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in of The United States proved that the illumination of 30 lux levels of melatonin are not changing. In order that the light from the screen does not exceed this level, the brightness should be minimal, and the distance from the screen to a person must be at least 35 centimeters.
For the study took two tablets and smartphones. They were used at different darkroom distance from the subject's face to determine how far and at what level of brightness of the display does not violate the release of melatonin.
I often suffers from the fact that using a smartphone or tablet at bedtime. Most often read books. Moreover, the first thing after waking up, I also grab your smartphone and check what happened during the night. Disease? Perhaps. Despite this, it is better to refrain from using the gadgets before bedtime. But if you can not afford it, then remember: 35 centimeters, and the minimum brightness!
