Black screens every night

Computers, tablets, video games, televisions, smart phones ...
These are so many screens that are an integral part of our everyday life. What would they do without them? Well, maybe we could sleep a little better...

Beware of blue light
In recent years, several scientific studies have shown that the use of LED screens can impair the quality of sleep. The blue light emitted by our cherished screens reduces the production of melatonin, a hormone that plays an important role in falling asleep, and can even have a stimulating effect. Less melatonin therefore rhymes with a state of awakening, a late sleeping time and a reduction in the number of hours of sleep.

These screens sometimes intrusive
The screens are present at work, with friends and ... in the bedroom. Who has not already wandered on his shelf in bed before falling asleep? The screen time often stretches, like an elastic, beyond the expected time and can therefore encroach on the hours of sleep.

A vicious circle?
Lack of sleep caused by the use of screens can lead to a decrease in energy. Become amorphous, we are then less inclined to do physical activity ... and we fall back on an activity that requires less energy, such as watching TV, playing on his cell phone or reading on the computer! The screens are therefore intimately linked to our sedentary lifestyle.

Possible Solutions that can make a difference
- Limit time spent in front of screens after work.
- Rather than listening to television, why not walk out to move a little?
- Avoid screens in the room, especially in the younger ones.
- Close screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before going to bed.
- Swap the tablet for a good old book ... paper!
