Psychologists investigate a major, ignored reason for our lack of sleep - bedtime procrastination
This article is very interesting to me. Maybe because I am one who is a bedtime procrastinator. There are many reasons for not getting adequate sleep. For some of us it is caused by diseases such as sleep apnea or insomnia. Other reasons we don't get good rest is because the world is becoming more and more interesting and wonderful. By interesting I mean who posted what on Facebook and Sherries boyfriend liked Sally Sues photo on Instagram. People have become so distracted with life and social media that they forget they need rest from it all. This study shows how being on your phone or playing a video game before bed can seriously hurt not only the amount but the quality of sleep. "Short term, lack of sleep scrambles our mental functioning. Long term, the health consequences can be dire" (Kroese). Kroese and her team did extensive research on many people in different situations and surveyed them on how they felt after it was done. "It can be speculated," the researchers said, "that people who have low self-regulation skills are more likely to keep watching the late night movie, or play yet another computer game despite knowing they might regret it the next morning when waking up tired" (Kroese). Good sleep requires taking a break from electronics.
