Trusting science and following advice are two very different things.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 29 points 7 months ago

I'm making an informed decision! It's a bad decision, sure, but it's an informed one!

[-] i_dont_want_to 9 points 7 months ago

I've found it. My life motto.

[-] spooky2092 5 points 7 months ago

Yeah, at least I understand the bad decision I'm making.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

also leaving it at "don't use your phone" is mid-tier sciencing, if you want your research to actually help people you follow that up with "and here's how to avoid using your phone"

Best I can do is enabling Night Light

I have it always on, I'm so used to it I don't even notice

[-] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Yeah, until I go outside and think my phone is dead

[-] atrielienz@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

Oh, I believe it. I just don't want to stop.

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

I believe science. But that doesn't stop me from not listening to it

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 16 points 7 months ago

Before bed I've heard, but right after waking? I thought light was good then for getting you more alert?

Source please, I'm very guilty of this and would love to read up on it.

The first and third apply to TV, radio, podcasts, or possibly even reading. The second isn’t a guarantee (not conclusive for everyone) and can be solved with technology.

The real science here is practicing good sleep hygiene. Your phone is one of many things that can fuck with that; it’s only a small part of it.

From OP's link, other of the papers: https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.01413.2009

Bruh I sleep with phone like it's a stuffed animal.

Oh God, the truth in this hurts.

Story time!

Some years ago, I had to get up very early for a job. So, to make it easier on me, I bought/built some programmable LED lights and set them to gradually shift from dark red to bright blue-white.

Fast forward some years, and I can comfortably ignore bright sunlight and 50W of white LEDs in my face. I don't even bother to put down the shutters any more. I wake up, semi-consciously acknowledge that it is morning, turn around and continue sleeping.
