Like
to tweet and check email and Facebook right before bed? It could not
only be cutting into your precious sleep time but also wrecking your séx
life, according to a new online poll.
Last
week British website BroadbandChoices.co.uk released results of a
survey of 2,000 adults, with nearly 15 percent of respondents admitting
to having less séx due to web-surfing habits.
Nearly
half of respondents said they spend up to 90 minutes on laptops,
tablets, and smartphone while between the sheets, pushing the average
time they fall asleep to midnight. Ten years ago, the average bedtime
was 10:30 pm.
About
25 percent of respondents say they surf the web in bed, while 15
percent watch television on their laptops or tablets before bed. Older
respondents, however, said they prefer to read a book.
A compilation of research on the effects of gadgets on sleep patterns could be shocking enough to keep people awake at night.
According
to a recent TeleNav survey in the US, one in three smartphone owners
claim that they would rather go without séx than go without their
handset for a week. The 2011 Sleep in America Poll, a study designed
specifically to assess and understand the impact of technology on
sleeping patterns, revealed that 95 percent of people admitted to
browsing the web, watching TV or texting in the hour immediately before
bedtime.
In
separate research, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Lighting Research
Center in the US also found that looking at a backlit screen, like
those on iPads and other tablets, can lead to sleeplessness in that it
suppresses melatonin.
