A new study finds that contrary to popular belief, media use during the hour before you go to bed may not lead to poor sleep.
In a small study, researchers asked 58 adults ranging in age from 19 to 66 to keep a diary that recorded information about the time they spent with media before going to bed, where in their home they used media, and whether they were doing other activities at the same time.
"The takeaway isn’t that everyone can necessarily watch lots of TV before bed and expect to be OK, but a little bit of television or a video game before bed, if it will help you relax, is likely to be potentially beneficial, or at least it won’t harm you if you stop intentionally, don’t allow it to displace bedtime, and keep the session relatively short," says lead study author Morgan Ellithorpe, PhD.
On the other hand, some research suggests that a little media use before bed might not cause problems, especially because not all media is the same. Enjoyable and relaxing media might actually help improve the quality of sleep.. The benefits were reduced by multitasking or use outside of the bed. Also, the longer participants used media, the fewer sleep-related benefits they saw.
Even with in a single category of media, such as video games,"there may be a varied effect on sleep,” Verma says.
