Late-night scrolling may be affecting more than just your screen time.

Blue light from phones and laptops can suppress melatonin — the hormone that helps regulate sleep. This tricks the brain into thinking it’s still daytime, making it harder to fall asleep.

Extremely informative post ! mindless scrolling can contribute to delayed sleep onset, reduced sleep quality, daytime fatigue, and disruption of the body’s circadian rhythm. It’s a reminder that sleep hygiene is not just about how long we sleep, but also about how we prepare our mind and body before bedtime.
