- Staring at screens right before sleep turns out to be a lot worse than previously thought. Dr. Dan Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, lays out all of the negative effects bedtime screen viewing can have on the brain and body.

Who else watched this a 12:00 at night :D
Edit: 8 years after this comment... Thanks for the 1.2k likes! My oh my how life has changed so much in the past 8 years. I made this comment when I was 17 years ago and shortly before my 1st self-unalive attempt. Just 2 years ago my older brother passed away. I am now an entrepreneur and own 3 companies @ age 25. My oh my how life has changed. Some of it for the better, some of it not so much. I'm thankful you all are here and wish you continued success, happiness and love in your life!!!
+Sam Smith 2:30* :P
+Viktor Åryd lol
+Sam Smith at 1 am XD And I'm still planning to watch my episode of Walking Dead before I go to sleep.
+CerseiDM lol
I'm am at 3:32
This video made me go to sleep
Me also 😜
I mean, this man's a sleep doctor. *Badum-tss*
🥱😴💤💤
I thought it was just me😂
Haha me too
I don't know about you guys.. but the light from my tablet actually makes me sleepy. I try to play some games before I sleep.. and i always doze off without even noticing.
I wake up after a few mins because of the noises from the game... and then I shut it off.. and go to sleep. And I feel extremely relaxed
Yeah, in my case it would be watching something on Netflix. The only bad thing now is that I don't fall asleep as easily if I don't have something playing in the background.
that probably happens because you are too tired
Doge Friend Not really.. I go to bed not that tired.. but I want to play some games before I go to sleep... and while playing I fall asleep. :D
So it's not like the guy in the video said.. that light keeps you awake.
ME TOO! I use like Ifunny in like 5-6 mins before i sleep ,then i feel sleepy and tired so i shut my phone and sleep and it gets more relaxing.
Yuri Nate I guess it is because of this becoming your routine and looking at the screen makes you think of sleeping ^-^
OH LORD,i'm watching this before i go to sleep
Me 2
Nabila Lia same lol
Me to
You are not alone... 00.32AM 😅😂
Pathetic. 2:40
*watches this when supposed to be sleeping*
I have a screen addiction, and it definitely effects my sleep. When I was in the mental hospital for a week last summer they took away our phones, and I got the best sleep of my life.
I will continue as before believing that i'm a part of that small %.
Me
Same
Gran's Stuff that part
Me too mate 😊
NIGHT SHIFT MODE!!!! 😂😂
You should take it more serious
And im not a hater 😂😉
Instagram, Snapchat, and twitter are a complete waste of time
A Big Disgrace then how am I going to keep up with the Kardashians?
A Big Disgrace is Facebook fine?
Nope. All social media apps are total waste of time. It only helps keep assholes at bay whom you don't want to talk on phone. Otherwise, meet your friends in real, talk to them on phone (when you're away) and rest of the time spend with your family or following your hobbies/passions.
Abhinav Tiwari but I don't have friends. What do I do?
ikr
0:30 That guy was holding his phone upside down.
Oh yeah lmao
What?? Whenever I use my gadget at bed, it just makes me fall asleep (I even slept holding my gadget)......
Watching this at 1.19 AM here in Finland!
very well said.. we lack sleep.. and this is really deteriorating our performance in our work
False!
Watching his tired face talking about this makes me fall asleep just fine.
I guess he's scientifically right. For some people who say they can sleep quickly viewing their device before bed, maybe not doing so will make your sleep even better....somehow. But, yes I have problems with sleeping and I just can't help but stare at my screen since I couldn't sleep, and that makes the problem even worse.
Pretty interesting stuff. I will probably be more carefull with that from now on.
Have you been careful ever since? After 6 years 😂
@@nightbot9170yes I have sweetheart
Me *watching this video at 3 AM* : definitely smartphones no, technology in general is really troubling our sleep
there is also the f.lux app for that...
I use that..
i use that too
Alex Sotirakis It's also for the computer!
+Alex Sotirakis You have completely missed the point if you think that will solve the issue...

What about apps that take away the blue light and also has the option to lower the light level on the phone at the same time?
Wonderful explanation! Thank you.
I stay with my phone until 11:30 and i sleep 8 hours...
*Answer needed*
So how room light differs from the smartphone or PC screen? Should we basically stay in dark 1 hour before going to sleep?
Sorry, but I do not agree with this. There are moments when I do not have the sleep yet, and reading somethings on my tablet / phone like even emails makes the sleep come faster. After that, I put the device away ans sleep immediately!
What's the explanation for that? :)
i thought he's talking about somebody who can't sleep immediately like u.
Don't agree with it, but he's still right. At what time do you go to bed? What time is sunset where you live? What time do you wake up? Maybe you're not spending enough time on the tablet for your circadian rhythm to be affected.
Hoc Nguyen Van He mentioned how one of the effects was apparent in 95% of people. No one I know has any of the issues the video is talking about. They need to cite the sources of where they got their info.
Hey! Okay if you don't feel sleepy, but that's not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is that parts of your brain gets "poisoned" by the Photons which makes the healing things not work.
FelixPaLo You're just a dimwit supporting the stupid idea, if "photons" are causing your brain to get poisoned, then everyday of your life, unless you're in near full darkness, will be forever poisoned.
Yes, what about Kindle before sleep?
And here I am at 1:00 AM watching this on my smart phone, ironic!
I honestly don’t need melatonin to go to sleep. After around 10, I go to sleep 1-2 minutes after I lie down
3:42 am and I'm still awake on my phone. God help me...
I can only pray for you to change your schedule
So true....it's actually telling your brain to not sleep and you keep on browsing, watching videos, playing games etc and then feel lazy and sleepy all day
Him speaking method is very soothing 🙏🏼
SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!!!!!!!!!!
then you got hella patches under your eyes 😂😂😂
JeevS GOne Sleep is for the week
Your majesty,
Could you please tell us how you grew so strong
Hey, guess I'm extremely weak 😂😂😂 Not wrong tho
JeevS GOne yup XD
I never fuck around with smartphones but does this apply to computer screens as well? I always compute right before going to bed
Yes it does, it also has blue light wich is bad for you
+FelixPaLo Does a kindle have the same effect as a smart phone? What are people supposed to do if they shut off their phones, computers, TV's and kindles and hour before bed?
+Speed-Sew Fabric Glue
Uhm... like what people did BEFORE you had computers, TV's and phones??? Use your imagination, geez.
And yes, kindle most likely has the same effect. It's about the light, not the phone in itself.
The body produces these "sleep hormones" when it's dark, which means it would be the same if you, for some reason, looked into a lamp that emitts light of the more energetic types in the spectrum.
I HATE smart phone because it used to bring tons of chaos to my life... But one day I lost it and never use smart phone again
@Ltoofy Bloo A new unknown invention called a computer 😨
Dud then how you commenting this then.
Edit: And why you have all those videos about games in your channel huh?
@@David-mq9dw computer
Dam you look like the good Darth Vader trying to drag me into the bright side..
Ethan is a Wanker dont compare my father to a guy with a slepp face
Is this unique to LED/LCD screens of smartphones/Laptops?
People had been watching TVs with CRT screens for decades.
I was watching the video and i listen to some stuff n then got distracted now i gotta watch this again😔
There is a simple fix to this problem. But before I tell you that I first have to elaborate more on the photons that keep you awake. Ok so yeah regarding the photons that make you stay awake, they are actually something called "blue light" and almost every electronic give this off and it can be quite damaging to the human eye and it also prevents most people from getting sleepy as explained on the video. But rest assured in this day and age we can fix a problem like that no problem and the answer is quite simple...just get an app for it😂 I know it might sound dumb but seriously you can get an app to fix it. Just go to your app store or play store and search for something along the lines of a bluelight filter which is an app that essentially blocks those "photons"(as said in the video) from reaching you eyes 👀. And bada boom bada bing problem solved, now its up to your brain to tell you when it feels like sleeping without having those harmful "photons" get to your head.
nah, shut them off completely. thats the correct and healthy way to fix the problem. a damn app wont fix crap
I'm 26,I'm suffering from this problem. I've high blood pressure, obese.i don't get sleep before 1am.even though i try to get up at 7am next day, i don't get sleep at 11pm on that night. I'll somehow drag myself to 12-1am.i don't know how long i can survive with this lifestyle. i feel very sleepy at noon around 3-4pm.i struggle a lot to control sleep at that time(noon) , but i don't get the same sleep at nights. don't know how to control myself. i feel very tired, unmotivated, restless, over angered, over eating...
Actually, the same applies for a PC - It also emits photons in our eyes...
So what about light? Pretty much everyone has their lights on before going to sleep, it also emits photons...
If you really want to produce melatonin to make you sleepy, you have to shut ALL LIGHT OFF.
I'm not an expert on this but I think this is related to the "type of light" (different waveleghts) you're exposed to. The screens of electronic devices apparently emit a more blueish tinted light (although it looks white to us), which affects the the production of melatonin a lot more than "warmer-tinted" light sources. :)
***** Makes sense! Didn't thought about that :)
Oh, hab grad gesehen dass du deutsch bist... gutes Englisch hast du da! :D
Haha, danke! :) Du aber auch- hab eigentlich gedacht, dass du aus dem englischsprachigen Raum kommst :)
Isn't this only relevant to the degree that one is wired and have their circadian rhythm tuned to day and night, more specifically, Western "work week" hours? It's been discovered that in different periods of time people slept very differently. It's also been discovered that our natural clocks are more closely tuned to 25 hours, so that if separated from light and time, people tended to go to sleep an hour later every night. This simple "light photons' impact on the eye" explanation doesn't really cover the many relevant factors..
Thank you Dr. I knew these gadgets were causing me mental and physical fatigue sooner than I normally had. I was already trying, but now I will reduce its usage to bare minimum.
What with laptop screens like I stop playing on the laptop at 8:22PM and I go sleep at 9:30PM how about that
oh crap!! I've been on this stupid device for 3h its 2am, FP!!!!😓😵
I always sleep with the television on and i have no problem falling asleep. I acually have more problem sleeping without the tv on... So it doens't seem to effect me in any bad way.
once i stayed up 'till morning, good thing it was the weekend.
It's not just the blue light that affects sleep, its the internet. its too much information in brain, internet use keeps brain active and stimulant which is the last thing you want before going to bed. so don't think using blue light filter will solve the problem. cut off internet and all electronics 1 hour prior to bedtime instead read some book or brush your teeth or things like that.
Yes i agree
0:31 who looks at their phone upside down? hmmmmm such a unique human.
12 PM = Noon
I always wake up from good night rest at noon each day
thank you for this it helped a lot (:
Does a kindle have the same effect as a smart phone? What are people supposed to do if they shut off their phones, computers, TV's and kindles and hour before bed?
I have a question: if i sleep 5 hours in the night and 3hours during the day does it compensate the 8-9 normal sleep nights?
I don't think we have to be so dramatic as to shut off screens. Using some blue light filter app should have a similar effect. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
I fall asleep watching RUclips or Netflix usually at 9 or 10pm every night. When I was without a device to play these things on for 2 weeks I slept exactly the same every night so I don’t understand how it affects my sleep. I sleep the same regardless.
2:03 By 9:00pm. Exact time: 9:00pm
Thank you
This all makes sense, but what about different kind of lights that are good before bedtime? For instance, if I want to read, is there a good type of light for this that will not cause negative side effects?
I'm watching this video while in bed... Welp.
Does it make a difference if you turn down the screen brightness?
No wonder I don't feel sleepy when I'm looking at a screen. But get real tired when no longer looking at a screen.
I stay up all night. For the past year I've only been getting 5 hours of sleep a night. I'm pretty sure I'm brain dead.
Totally agree. I have been doing just that. It's time to stop doing it for good.
What's the piece of music playing in the background?
What if you don't have to wake up at a certain time and you are on a screen to let's say 12:00pm and you wake up at 10:00pm or 11:00pm??????
We can look at this another way.
Life is short so why waste it on sleep?
Thats why we do it brothers.
Is it same with tv's?
And how I can have access to music If I love listening to music in my Phone. I have just a small piano. Now that being in my Phone 24/7 hours became an habit it's difficult to left the phone
As a person who has bad insomnia I once stayed up till 6 of insomnia and yes I always feel not the same cause of the lack of sleep
Bro I'm also suffering the same thing due to mobiles
Did it go away? Or u still suffering?
I’m still suffering cause of it
@@theonewhoasked2811 why? U are using mobiles now also?
I still use them
@@theonewhoasked2811 if we stop it, will it go away?
does blue light filter help in any way
I've been having 5 hours of sleep per night for atleast a year or so. My brain functioning is fucked beyond repair.
Its weird...sometimes when i watching people streaming,im start to yawning and after that i didnt realize that im sleeping...
Good to know
Hello, do you know who the name of background music?
Using a blue light filter is a great tool
Me too lol, PC and Phone
TheAflammable yeah but it doesn't work completely because your phone still emits light
f.lux on pc and twilight on smartphone/tablet to advoid these problems ;-)
Oh God, seven years ago
This man’s voice is the solution to my insomnia 😂
Thanks this helped a lots I went to sleep at 10pm and tuned my phone of at 9pm I slept better
Oh no, it is already, 19:07, Saturday, 13th of June, 2020 at GMT+8!!!
I have been not sleeping for 2 days ,I am a teenager, before I was sleeping 8 hours ,after getting addicted my phone ,I used it at night to ,as the result I don't feel sleepy at all , first it was like making me tired to sleep , and then after I get up I still felt sleepy, then the stage is ,less sleep , then final stage is, can't sleep at all ,which means sleeping problem, I think it effects from too much screen time , But plz I need a solution to go back to my normal routine, can anyone help me
Wait what do you do on your phone? Do u like play games or use social media or do random things?
Is there a English version
One of the hardest challenges
yeah sometimes 12:00 or 10
Very helpful !!
What about tv and computer monitors
Watching this before going to bed
do tv and computer count aswell?... because then i have been doing it wrong my whole life
I experienced, very helpful
What if i work from home, so i sleep in until about 12. Then even if i stay up a while, it wont bother how much sleep i get.
That's right, but hey i always check my mobile and laptop Daily before i sleep and also sleep 7-9 hours.
Yeah he is right
i always minmise my lights when my lights is dem
I went to bed at 3:00 AM last night hardly any sleep this video helped
I’ve slept for three days and never woke up or eat anything is that bad
Thank u I'm doing such a long time..as I've observed i can't sleep on the time I set to be if I glance on my phone before I sleep..
Does this happen only with cellphones or does it also happen with anything that produces photons (light) ... like TVs, lambs... etc.?
I'm not a grammar police member/corrector of words, but damn, I'm laughing hysterically thinking about a glowing lamb....Hahahahaha. (ts also 2:30am)
Thanks Captain...
Television and computers do the same, right?
How can I get back to my usual sleeping time? Any suggestions. Facing every problem as mentioned in the video. Finding it hard to get enough sleep!
+Anurag Rai Change your routine. Also, consider to have a protection from a harmful blue light that we usually get from our digital devices such as smartphone. I'm currently using ocushield's screen protector for my iphone to prevent digital eye strain from long term screen viewing.
Lol, i'm watching this and i'm almost going to sleep xD
How come phones cause me nightmares if I sleep next to it
So your the light projected from your phone tells your brain that their is still daylight and dosent incert malentonan
