Technics: Sleep Disorders: Ruining our sleep

HuffPost (March7,2k11)

Your laptop may rob you of much-needed rest, according to a new study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation. The non-profit's 2011 Sleep in America poll suggests a correlation between the use of electronics before bedtime and widespread sleeping problems.

The poll surveyed a random sample of 1,508 Americans between the ages of 13 and 64. A whopping 63 percent of participants claimed that their sleep needs were not met during the week. This dissatisfaction may be connected to the fact that virtually everyone polled -- 95 percent -- reported that they surfed the net, texted or watched TV at least a few nights a week in the hour before trying to sleep.
