The study, published in the journal Physiological Reports, compared nine healthy adults for five consecutive evenings of unrestricted use of light-emitting tablet computers versus evenings reading from printed materials. &#8220;These findings provide more evidence that light-emitting electronic devices have biological effects,&#8221; said Jeanne Duffy, from Harvard Medical School in the US. &#8220;Using light-emitting electronic devices in the late evening can postpone our decision to go to sleep, and make us more sleepy the next morning,\u201d said Duffy. On evenings when using light-emitting tablets, participants&#8217; self-selected bedtimes were on average half an hour later, and they showed suppressed melatonin levels, delayed timing of melatonin secretion onset, and later sleep onset. Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep and wakefulness.<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston Using light-emitting tablet devices in the evenings can delay bedtimes, interfere with a sleep-regulating hormone, and impair alertness in the morning, a study has found.
