Doomscrolling spikes cortisol AND suppresses melatonin. Cute combo.

Blue light suppresses melatonin. Stimulating content elevates cortisol. Both delay sleep onset and reduce deep sleep — even in supposedly 'tired' people.

Why this matters

Removing the phone from the bedroom is one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost sleep interventions.
