Lonliness + Smartphone = ruinned sleep

hey how has your sleeping been? I agree anything electronic before bed makes it difficult to fall asleep

 

Hey Lee, I think there are two sides to your problem.

One side is completely natural. I don't think losing sleep when talking to an interesting person is a bad thing. I did it way before I started to have problems with PMO, in times before high speed internet, and I continue to do so occasionally.

The question is: do you lose sleep and feel wired unconditionally? What I mean is: do you still feel wired after you both said good night and keep browsing?

 

Hello Lee,

losing sleep after to texting might be caused by blue light from the screen. Blue light affects your body like daylight and tells it to stay awake.

Your phone might have a feature, called "Night Light" on Android, iPhones have a similar feature "Blue light reduction". It will tilt your screen's color temperature towards warmer yellowish colors, whenever the sun is down. So your screen will look more like sunset colors. The idea is, that it will reduce the amount of blue light from the screen, which would keep you awake. I've been using this Night Light on Android for some months and it really helps to improve sleep.
