With all of those apps being used, is it any wonder that the National Sleep Foundation is reporting that 95% of Americans are reporting that they use their mobiles, laptops, or televisions within an hour of going to bed?  Or that six in ten of that 95% say that they have problems sleeping?<\/p>\n

I remember reading an article several years ago, that suggested you not have a television in your bedroom, because it disrupts sleep.  That same article also said that having your computer desk in your bedroom was a bad idea.  The premise was that when your bedroom was turned into a multi-functional room, your mind\u2019s association with it as a room for sleep is diminished.  Nevertheless, nowadays, with smartphones and laptops, it is a lot harder to keep the technology out.  I know I am guilty.  I can often be found sitting in bed watching television while surfing in the hour leading up to bedtime.  It is a terrible habit, but I do not see me breaking it any time soon \u2013 and that is I as an adult.  Our young people are much worse.<\/p>\n

According to statistics I have read, around 50% of our teens take their mobiles to bed with them.  I know one girl who sleeps with hers and she says it wakes her up almost every night with a text or email.  It can\u2019t be healthy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
