Why it's bad to use your phone before bed

• Stop using your phone before you go to bed. It has been proven that cell phone radiation causes insomnia and can prevent you from getting to sleep.
• Using an electronic gadget for just two hours before bed can cause sleep problems, researchers have discovered.
• The new study from the Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute believe the displays cause melatonin suppression.
• Melatonin is the chemical that controls our body clock.
• They believe teens are particularly susceptible to the problem.
• In order to simulate typical usage of these devices, 13 individuals used self-luminous tablets to read, play games, and watch movies. 
• The actual melatonin suppression values after 60 minutes were very similar to those estimated for spending an hour in sunlight and was not deemed significant. 
• However, after a two-hour exposure there was significant suppression.
