California (Web Desk) – If you also keep your mobile phone near your pillow while sleeping at night, you should reconsider this habit, as experts say it may affect sleep quality and cause tiredness upon waking up in the morning.
Many people put their mobile phones on silent mode and place them beside their pillows at night so they can check messages and incoming calls as soon as they wake up in the morning. However, a study has highlighted the possible negative effects of this habit.
According to research from Stanford University, the presence of a mobile phone nearby and the anticipation of possible notifications may keep the brain constantly alert, making it difficult for it to achieve complete relaxation.
According to the research, some people do not feel refreshed after waking up in the morning despite apparently sleeping for eight hours, and continue to feel that they have not had enough sleep.
On the other hand, research by Harvard Medical School has highlighted the possible effects of blue light from mobile phones on sleep. This light may affect the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates the body's natural sleep cycle, potentially disrupting sleeping and waking routines.
Experts advise limiting mobile phone use before going to bed at night and keeping the device at an appropriate distance rather than placing it near the pillow, as this may help ensure peaceful sleep.
