The Impact Of Screen On Your Sleep,, Understanding The Effects
You've likely heard that using screens before bed is a no-no when it comes to sleep science. But let's be real, many of us ignore this advice - including sleep experts themselves! Rohan Nagare, a sleep researcher who has co-authored several papers on the topic, admits to using his phone before bed to quickly check his calendar and email, limiting his screen time to under 30 minutes. As someone who also uses their phone before bed, I spoke with Nagare to explore whether there's a way to continue using our phones at night without completely disrupting our sleep schedules. Interestingly, science suggests that our sleep schedules are more flexible than we think."

WHAT IF CELLPHONES WERE SO POWERFUL THAT COULD MUTATE THE SHAPE OF OUR BONES
"A groundbreaking topic has recently gained widespread media attention, stemming from a scientific report that reveals a surprising truth about our phone and tablet use. Contrary to what you might expect, this report suggests that our bodies can undergo significant and lasting changes as a result of using these devices. This research, conducted by David Shahar and Mark Sayers, experts in biomechanics from the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia, has been ongoing for several years. Biomechanics is a field that explores how the laws of mechanics apply to living organisms, from the way humans move to the intricate movements of insects' wings. The findings of this study have sparked a fascinating conversation about the impact of technology on our physical bodies."
