Scientists in Spain have found that the artificial light emitted from
the screens of phones, tablets, televisions and laptops inhibits the
production of a hormone that combats obesity. Melatonin, which is
present in plants, animals and humans, regulates sleep patterns and
boosts metabolism.
The artificial light emitted from mobile phones reduces the production of a hormone that boosts metabolism.
If you’re sleeping with a buzzing monitor, then the production of the hormone will be disrupted, slowing your metabolism and making you susceptible to weight gain.
Professor Ahmad Agil, who led the study, told the Independent that ‘artificial lighting during the night…reduces the levels of endogenous melatonin,’ meaning the bodies organisms fail to produce as much.
I wouldn’t worry too much though. Your phone’s screen probably switches off when you’re not using it – whether it’s charged or not.
