Riddhi Deorah explains why screens before bed hurt kids' sleep and development. Blue light disrupts melatonin, overstimulation keeps brains wired, and poor sleep damages memory and dream quality.
Five reasons why you must never give screen time to your child just before bedtime. Number one Disrupt sleep patterns the blue light emitted by screens can interfere with the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible to regulate sleep in your child. This can make it harder for your child to fall asleep, leading to tiredness and irritability the next day. 2. Slows down your child's brain development. Engaging with screen often leads to spending more time awake, pushing bedtime later. This reduces the total amount of sleep, which is crucial for your child's overall brain development. 3. Overstimulates the brain Interactive and engaging content can stimulate the brain, making it harder to wind down and relax. This affects cognitive function and leads to poor mood the following day. Fourth, impaired memory sleep is crucial for memory consolidation and learning. Poor sleep quality due to extra screen time just before bedtime can disrupt this process. Fifth impact on dream quality the content viewed before bed can influence your child's dream quality. Negative and overstimulating content can lead to distressing dreams, which can affect your child's emotional state and behavior the following day.
