A new Norwegian study finds that one hour of screen time at bedtime results in a 59% higher risk of insomnia and 24 fewer minutes of sleep. The findings indicate that social media use is no more disruptive to sleep than watching TV or movies or reading on a mobile device.

A massive new study suggests bedtime screen time could be seriously damaging your sleep. Researchers found that even one extra hour of screen use after going to bed raises the chance of insomnia and shortens overall sleep.
