Many people keep their phones in bed, but this can affect health in several ways:
Disrupted sleep patterns: Blue light from screens reduces melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep.
Electromagnetic exposure: While generally considered low risk, experts recommend distance between devices and your head.
Tip: Charge your phone across the room and use “Do Not Disturb” mode at night.
2. Sleeping With Pets
Sharing your bed with pets may feel cozy, but it can sometimes impact your sleep quality:
Interrupted rest: Pets move, snore, or wake up early, disturbing sleep cycles.
Allergies: Pet dander can trigger respiratory issues or worsen asthma.
Hygiene: Animals can carry dirt or insects into your bed.
If you love cuddling, consider a pet bed nearby instead.
Weighted or multiple blankets can feel comforting, but overdoing it may:
Restrict circulation
