Many people fall asleep with the television playing in the background, believing it helps them relax. However, sleep experts say this habit may affect sleep quality more than most people realize.
The light emitted from screens can interfere with the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, while changing sounds and sudden volume increases may disrupt deeper stages of sleep. Over time, poor-quality sleep can contribute to daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and reduced energy levels.
Some researchers also suggest that consistent exposure to light during sleep may make it harder for the body to maintain healthy sleep patterns. While occasional use is unlikely to cause major problems, making it a nightly habit could affect overall rest and recovery.
Creating a darker, quieter sleeping environment may help promote more restful sleep and improve how refreshed you feel the next day.
