Why screen time can disrupt sleep

For most, the time spent staring at screens -- on computers, phones, iPads -- constitutes many hours and can often disrupt sleep.

When these cells are exposed to artificial light late into the night, our internal clocks can get confused, resulting in a host of health issues.
