Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Staring at screens right before sleep turns out to be a lot worse than previously thought. Dr. Dan Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, lays out all of the negative effects bedtime screen viewing can have on the brain and body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPhoboS Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah best to have an orange light source (can use candles) when winding down for an hour or so, and for the room to be pitch black - so no LED's creating pockets of illumination, and lastly silicone ear plugs are pretty good too.

Ekona Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Okay, so I'm going to pass comment before watching the video, but... Utter bobbins. I love having the TV on to fall asleep to, very relaxing plus I get the clock on the TV as I wake up with the BBC news on. Helps wake me up as well as send me to sleep. Nothing worse than trying to get to sleep in a completely dark and silent room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Completely disagree, it's not about falling asleep it's about the quality and how you feel during the day afterwards. But what it's blatantly obvious, we're all different and there's no harm whatsoever in trying different ways out over several days/weeks to see how you feel (not just a one off).

Ekona Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I feel awesome if I've had a good night's sleep, which I only get if the telly is on I'm up during the night if it's off and there's no noise. But yeah, we're all different. Especially me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 er, am I the only one who finds TV so entertaining it makes me fall asleep better than anything else Staring at screens right before sleep turns out to be a lot worse than previously thought. Dr. Dan Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, lays out all of the negative effects bedtime screen viewing can have on the brain and body. But in your case Adrian I would have thought it would be very positive for you watching all those £££££££££'s dropping in. Or is it the thought of the increasing number of options you can add to the GTR order that is keeping you awake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than trying to get to sleep in a completely dark and silent room. Total opposite to you Dan, ...the room has to be pitch black & quiet for me to fall soundly to sleep. I have only ever fallen asleep once with the TV on (which was many moons ago) and on that one occasion I was pi**ed & slightly stoned too.

Wasso Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Try sleeping 120 yards away from a steeple bell that chimes every half hour and on the hour with a ring for every hour. Bet the scientist can't fix that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Try sleeping 120 yards away from a steeple bell that chimes every half hour and on the hour with a ring for every hour. Bet the scientist can't fix that!! There was a clock tower about 1/4 mile from my house when I was growing up , I found the chimes very peaceful and missed them for years after I moved away . Even now 25 years later I often hear them when I'm half asleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 These "photons" he's on about (clearly a made up thing) it's a bloody good job they only come out of screens and regular light isn't made up of them, otherwise we'd be being bombarded by them all day every day. When I were a lad there were no photons, we lived in a puddle under a cow @*!# in the middle of the M1. And we were lucky. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
