I’m just being honest. Maybe the blue light is what makes me need to listen to a podcast to sleep but I have no scientific evidence to say it’s the reason for it.
From what I have read the blue light is supposed to stop deeper sleep occurring. I just don’t think this is the case based on the stats from my Apple Watch. I get plenty of REM.
Stress and the need to want to have some me time is the greater reason for me not wanting to sleep.
This is called “revenge bedtime procrastination” in the literature.
The reply above’s point is that you’ve don’t have data to say that your phone usage is not affecting your sleep. In fact you have anecdotally the opposite data, an implication that it does affect your sleep.
Well I’m usually asleep in about 30 seconds of putting the podcast on so I don’t think there is some circadian rhythm disaster going on. It’s more like a “revenge bedtime procrastination” antidote.
I know a lot of people who use phones before bed. Not all sleep deprived insomniacs.
