There’s a common belief that screens that emit blue light make it harder for us to fall asleep. But is that really the case?
We speak with sleep scientist and sleep practitioner Dr Michael Gradisar, on the effects of using screens on sleep … and whether or not you need to take that TV out of your bedroom.
Dr Gradisar is a Professor of Psychology and Clinical Psychologist at the Child & Adolescent Sleep Clinic at Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia.
He has published over 120 scientific studies, book chapters and books, including publications investigating the effects of screen light before bedtime and is one of the leading researchers into the links between technology use and sleep, as well as treatments for young people.
