Sleeping with the TV on Makes You Tired When You Wake Up, Here's Why

Dream - Every person has different sleeping habits. Not everyone is comfortable sleeping in silence and complete darkness. Some feel more comfortable sleeping with a TV or gadget that is turned on. Usually, to create sound and make someone feel comfortable with minimal light.

According to a report from the National Sleep Foundation, watching TV has become the most popular pre-sleep ritual among adults in the United States. Do Dream's friends also often do it?

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "This habit actually has a very bad impact on health. Sleeping with the TV or gadgets turned on can make you feel tired when you wake up. Here are the causes."

1. Reduce Melatonin Production

Just like computers and cell phones, TVs emit blue light that is comparable to sunlight. This light wave is what can disrupt the production of melatonin or sleep hormone in your body.

Melatonin in the body will only be released about 3-4 hours after blue light disappears. This means that when the body is exposed to blue light from the TV for too long, melatonin production will be delayed.

"Internal biological clock cannot distinguish whether the light comes from the TV or the sun, causing a decrease in melatonin levels and disruption of our natural circadian rhythm,"
According to Susan Malone, a Sleep Researcher and Assistant Professor at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing.

2. Stimulating the Brain During Sleep

"Before and during sleep, the brain will continue to process the content you watched earlier. Therefore, pay attention to the types of content you watch at night. Choose content that can help you stay active during the day."

"Disturbing, fascinating, or frightening content - or shows that end with a cliff-hanger - can make it difficult for you to get a restful and quality sleep as your brain continues to process that content."
according to Wendy Troxel, Clinical Psychologist.

3. Disturbing REM Cycle

Rapid Eye Movement (REM) is one of the main phases in the human sleep cycle. The REM phase occurs for about 1 hour and is characterized by rapid eye movements and increased brain activity. This is the sleep phase in which a person usually experiences vivid dreams.

According to Wendy, turning on the TV can disrupt all aspects of the sleep cycle, including the REM phase. "Highly disturbing or frightening content can cause nightmares, which most often occur during REM sleep," said Traxel.

Besides that, this phase is also closely related to memory, even if listened to at a low volume it can make it difficult for you to sleep soundly. So from now on, reduce the habit of watching TV before bed, Dream Friend!

"Alternative to Sleeping with the TV On"

"Some people may have difficulty breaking the habit of turning on the TV while sleeping. If you are one of them, try doing the following things to be able to sleep faster:
1. White noise
You can sleep with a soothing sound without worrying about being exposed to blue light from the TV. This sound can be found in applications in the form of white noise."

2. Set a timer on the TV. If you're not used to sleeping without a TV, try using the timer feature. That way, your body will be exposed to less blue light and avoid shows that disrupt sleep quality. 3. Use alternative media. Try replacing the ritual of watching TV at night with something that doesn't emit light, such as reading a book or listening to a calming podcast.
