As we know, our television screens and electronic devices (such as cell phones, tablets and computers) are harmful to our eyes. We all remember being told not to watch television too close when we were kids. However, it is only more recently \u2013 with the arrival of electronic devices for personal use \u2013 that studies have shown that the blue light emitted by the screens of these devices is harmful to our sleep.<\/p>\n

You should try to limit your screen time as much as possible before going to bed, especially if you have difficulty falling asleep at night or if the quality of your sleep is not optimal,.
