A 2014 study found that users that read on an iPad before going to bed took longer to fall asleep, felt less sleepy at night, and had shorter REM sleep compared to those who read books, reports the [I][URL='https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/23/reading-before-bed_n_6372828.html']Huffington Post.[/URL][/I] In fact, most experts suggest users power down devices at least 30 minutes before bedtime to maximize sleep. Researchers from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have identified how cells in the eye process ambient light and reset our daily internal clocks. In the retina of the eye, there is a tiny subpopulation of light-sensitive cells that operate similarly to pixels in a digital camera. A protein called melanopsin within the cells reacts to light, telling the brain whether it should be sleeping or alert."
