Reading  smart phones or tablets  at night time  causes eye strain and  heart diseases

       Reading your smartphone or tablet in the dark is probably bad for you. That’s unlikely to stop you, so beyond quitting cold turkey, what are the easiest ways to fix your bedtime reading device so it doesn’t put so much strain on your eyes?

       There’s a growing body of research that suggests “peering at brightly lit screens at night disrupts the body’s natural rhythms and raises the risk of medical conditions linked to poor sleep, including obesity, heart disease, strokes and depression.”

       While it’s no secret that artificial light takes a tolls on our circadian rhythms, recent publications suggest that LCDs might be even worse on your sleep patterns. Phone and tablet screens display light in a predominantly blue hue, and it’s now thought that the blue light emitted by these screens actually tricks our brain into waking up, when it really needs to fall asleep.

       Knowing all this, are you now less likely to take your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to bed with you? We’re guessing no. What you can do instead is adjust your screen brightness and don't  play  games at bedtime so it doesn’t have as negative an impact on your eyes.
