Why Electronics Are Used For An Hour Before Bed

Hypothesis: Sleeping for more than 8 hours has an effect on the exam score of college students. Null Hypothesis: Sleeping for more than 8 hours does not have an effect on the exam score of college students. The first threat to international

Phones, computers, tablets, and televisions emit a blue light that suppresses the production of melatonin. This hormone controls your sleep/wake cycle. Reducing melatonin makes it harder to sleep and stay asleep. To make sure technology isn’t messing with your sleeping pattern, give yourself 30 minutes of technology free time before sleeping. Also falling asleep to the vision

In bedrooms today we have many gadgets, we have televisions, game counsels, tablets, and our phones. All of these thing affect how we sleep. Ninety-five percent of people use technology an hour before they go to bed (How technology affects sleep). Whether this is sending texts, emailing, playing games, or browsing through social media. In today 's society we find this as normal everyday routines. Studies show that we should abstain from using technology two hours before we are wanting to go to sleep (How Technology Affects Sleep). How does technology effect how we sleep? Our technology that we use daily gives off many colors of light. The color that is believed to disrupt our sleeping patterns is in particular the blue light. Blue light prevents the

Have you ever gotten lost in the Internet, swallowed by the constant updates on Twitter and Facebook for hours, when you only meant to be on for a few minutes? This is a constant battle in our society and technology changes and our use of it increases. It is becoming a bigger issue every day, and now it affects one of our basics psychological needs: sleep. Though I concede with Brooke Gladstone, author of “The Influencing Machines” that we can adapt to technology as it grows, I still insist that some issues that arise with technology are bigger than Gladstone portrays and we need to find solutions for some of the bigger problems that technology creates, especially when it disturbs a basic psychological need.

Summary: All in all, the data shows how multitasking will make you take longer to finish your work. The data reveals 14 hours of homework, and 11 hours of screen usage of the week. All seven days of the week I used an electronic before bed, which made me sleep longer than usual. The main

Topic Sentence “Are we addicted to technology?” the author Zoe Kleinman discusses how much we as a society rely on social media and technology in general. Technology is slowly but surely taking over our lives. First claim presented (tiredness/exhaustion) kleinman introduces ramlakhan Kleinman introduces Dr.Ramlakhan, A sleep and energy expert. Ramlakhan states that tiredness surely is product of a busy modern life and that this client is running on survival energy. What evidence is provided to support this claim “The thing my patients have in common is the fact that they are in front of screens all the time.”(line 8) Whether it be for work or for pleasure. Is She effective? Dr.Ramlakhan is effective, after taking her advice her patients felt

Many do not believe that we have a technology problem in today’s society. But, ninety-five percent of people use technology an hour before they go to sleep (How Technology Affects Sleep). This is an alarming amount of people who use technology before they go to sleep. You do not have to be looking directly at the technology to trigger the pineal gland to stop releasing melatonin (Kim). Many also believe that lack of sleep due to technology does not affect how they do their daily jobs. Seventy-five percent of those over 30 that reported not getting enough sleep said that when they were tired that their sleepiness effected their daily work (Tarkan). For a school age kid ten hours of sleep is needed. Teenagers also need about nine to ten

Much of our data came out to be very similar with few differences between the two groups. In the end, we concluded that the 15 girls we asked get an total of 336 minutes of sleep, meaning each girl gets about five hours and 36 minutes of sleep each night . Finally for the shocking part, we concluded that boys get around 348 minutes of sleep, which is only 12 minutes higher than girls, giving each boy five hours and 48 minutes of sleep. Our conclusion led us to believe senior boys tend to get more sleep than senior girls. We are 95% confident that the true difference in mean between guys getting more sleep than girls is between -1.59 and 1.056. The pvalue of the survey is .341, which means we must fail to reject the null hypothesis because that would result in the null hypothesis being false, due to the pvalue being greater than .05. Our null hypothesis is guys receive less sleep and our alternative hypothesis is girls receive more sleep. After reviewing our survey, we lack evidence to suggest that girls sleep less than guys their senior year because our survey actually revealed that girls sleep less than

By giving the participants only one test, we don't know if we can generalize the results to other types of questions testing mental performance. Also, because the participants knew that those with higher REM sleep perform better than those with lower REM sleep, they could've acted in a way to meet this criterion. Another limitation was that the experimenter was aware of what assigned group the participants were in. This awareness could lead the experimenter into only recording data that agreed with their hypothesis. In an attempt to address these concerns, the researchers conducted another

Nearly every day, you can read articles about urbanized countries throughout the world, with issues or concerns arising from individuals playing video games for excessive amounts of time. Individuals form addictions to a surge in excessive or violent behaviors, commonly found among teens or younger children. Studies also indicate playing excessive amounts of video games can also have an effect on your sleeping patterns in a negative way. For instance, playing an extreme amount of video games prior to going to bed may create a more difficult time in falling asleep. So, I decided to take on a similar yet different type of study to discover out how much video gaming an average high schooler plays each night and how this may affect how many hours of sleep he/she receives. I was unable to find any online articles for this type of study, so I decided to find out for myself using the high school population at a local school. As the study began, I did believe that students who participated in excessive video gaming may receive less sleep.

Bright artificial lights at evenings suppress melatonin’s release, a hormone regulating sleep and circadian rhythms. Decrease in melatonin levels weakens internal clocks’ ability to prepare the body for sleep. This not only causes sleeping difficulties but also a groggy and tired feeling after waking up. Rapid-eye movement (REM) during sleep also lessens. This diminishes the brain’s ability to learn and store memories during sleep. Reduced sleep also increases risks of obesity, diabetes, depression and accidents. Greater exposure to natural light could reduce the body’s sensitivity to artificial light.

The human body is accustomed to the rhythms of the sun. Therefore simulating its dawn is actually highly beneficial for many people who suffer from sleeping disorders. The PHILIPS Wake-Up Lamp can be used by a wide variety of people. From those who have difficulties falling asleep, to those who have trouble waking up, and even to those who are affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder, the Wake-Up Lamp can be valuable for a large demographical target.

The topic I chose is Media time versus sleep time. This study is very important because sleep can determine how you perform during the day. Sleep time is much more important than media, and people should spend more time sleeping, and less time on media. What I studied, overall. “Some research suggests that screen time can have lots of negative effects on kids, ranging from childhood obesity and irregular sleep patterns to social and/or behavioral issues.” This quote explains that media might have several negative effects, and sleep time is one of them, this quote is from Kids And Screen Time: What Does The Research Say? My hypothesis is, if students spend more time on screens then they will sleep less.

Today, most research done on technology’s effect on sleep has been focused on how technology makes sleeping more difficult. Technology can become a distraction and keep your brain active as a result of using it before going to sleep. The National Sleep Foundation even discovered through a poll that “nine of 10 Americans reported

The question that I set out to study was whether more men or women used their phones while walking. I expected more women than men to use their phones while walking because I believe that women spend more time on social media, texting, and making phones call when they are in public spaces, particularly in the mall, which is where I conducted the observation. Women often go to the mall in groups, and when in the groups, they tend to look at social media together or text others as they travel from one store to another. My hypothesis was that more women than men would use their phones while walking.
