In this episode of the Healthy Sleep Revolution Podcast, Dr. Meghna Dassani breaks down one of the biggest, and most overlooked, disruptors of modern sleep: screens.
We all know we should put our phones away before bed, but few people understand why it matters so much. Dr. Dassani explains how blue light, digital overstimulation, notifications, and nighttime scrolling impact melatonin, cortisol, airway stability, and your nervous system's ability to shift into deep, restorative sleep.
You'll learn:
-
How blue light signals your brain that it's daytime
-
Why melatonin drops and cortisol rises with screen use
-
What "social jet lag" is and why your nervous system thinks you flew from Houston to Tokyo
-
How late-night scrolling worsens snoring and sleep apnea
-
The link between digital dopamine hits and a hyperactive nervous system
-
The real science on EMFs and sleep
-
Simple, practical device rules for families
-
The 90-minute "digital sunset" Dr. Dassani teaches in her practice
Plus, Dr. Dassani shares her favourite screen-time hacks: warm lighting, bedroom boundaries, charging baskets, and behavioural shifts that turn chaotic evenings into calmer nights for the whole family.
If your nights feel restless, your mornings feel punishing, or you suspect technology is taking a toll on your sleep, this episode will give you the tools you need to take back your evenings — one habit at a time.
