The smartphones cause insomnia in children

Back in the days, every parent was worried to put a TV in the childs’ room because it will interfere with the kids’ sleep.

Scientists prove that the smartphones in the modern world are harmful to the sleep of the child. Following an experiment of more than 2000 children in primary and secondary schools, the results suggest that children who have smartphones and tablets in the bedroom are sleeping less at night and more often during the day.

Children with electronic devices (but not necessarily TVs) in the bedroom have worse sleep than children with TVs in their rooms. In general, children should receive about 10 hours of sleep a day, so they can develop good eating habits, healthy brain development and positive achievements in education.

In an increasingly technological world full of electronic devices, it would be difficult to ban all these “entertainment” devices at home. Instead, try to create areas in the home where some electronic devices are not permitted (smartphones, tablets, computers or TVs). Do not allow the technique to be present during dinner or when the children sleep.

If you feel your children spend too much time on their smartphones, you can try some parental control solutions that will help you keep an eye on them.
