2 Hour Use Tablet Contributes to the Biological Sleeping

Electronic reading devices like the tablet might facilitate activity no matter where you are. Unfortunately, this type of gadget that this one is not good to use two hours before going to bed.

Research shows, an electronic device that has a powerful lighting on this appearance will suppress melatonin. As known, melatonin is a natural hormone produced by the body to regulate the hours of sleep bilogis. When this hormone is compromised then can affect your sleep time and affects circadian rhythms (the biological cycle of the body for 24 hours) natural body.

The conclusion is the result of a small study published in the journal Applied Ergonomics. Researchers from the Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute researching the impact of these devices to the hormone melatonin 13 respondents. All active respondents used the tablets for playing and watching movies. Some of them are asked to wear special goggles that protects the body's production of melatonin from exposure to light screen tablet.

Researchers found, exposure to light of tablet for two hours can suppress melatonin levels around 22 percent. Mariana Figueiro, Professor of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the director of the Light and Health Program says, the use of electronic devices on this level stimulate the human circadian system and affect the activity of his sleep.

Order melatonin is not much affected, those who still have activity with tablet admits sleeping asked to Dim the device at night. In addition, user limit Figuero suggest that time spent using this tool before going to bed.

However, according to the researchers, not all tablets radiates the same degrees of light. So it is unlikely that all of the tablet with the generalize all light settings produce effects so far.
