All that tech is hurting your sleep, researchers say

If you’re having trouble getting a solid night’s sleep, the blame may rest on all the gadgets you’re using.

A whopping 95 percent of Americans use some kind of technology an hour before they go to sleep, the National Sleep Foundation found in a poll released today. The organization said Americans are turning on their televisions, mobile phones, computers, or video game devices before bed “at least a few nights a week.”

The problem: using technology before bed can negatively affect a person’s ability to fall asleep and to get the amount of sleep they need.
