Charlie McHenry<p>Want a better night’s sleep? Limit your <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/DoomScrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DoomScrolling</span></a> before bed! A growing body of research suggests that how often people use social media before bed – and how engaged they are in it – matters more than how long they are on screens as a whole when it comes to getting restful sleep. Social psychologist and sleep researcher Brian N. Chin, from Trinity College, explains that emotionally stimulating content can lead to greater arousal that delays the onset of sleep. Small behavioral changes, such as avoiding doomscrolling and leaving your phone outside your bedroom at night, can help you get more sleep, he writes. <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/sleep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sleep</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/sleeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sleeping</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/PersonalCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalCare</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anxiety</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://theconversation.com/social-media-before-bedtime-wreaks-havoc-on-our-sleep-a-sleep-researcher-explains-why-screens-alone-arent-the-main-culprit-251453" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/social-med</span><span class="invisible">ia-before-bedtime-wreaks-havoc-on-our-sleep-a-sleep-researcher-explains-why-screens-alone-arent-the-main-culprit-251453</span></a></p>
