Texting causes Insomnia?

September 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Whilst not exactly about Insomnia, an interesting recent study from Belgium suggests that text messaging is becoming a cause of poorer sleep quality in children.

In the group of 16 year old children, 20.8% wake up 1-3 times in a month, 10.8% wake up at least one time in a week, 8.9% wake up many times in a week and 2.9% wake up every night.

Children were asked how often they woke up during the night because of incoming text messages. There seems like a relatively simple answer to resolving this, but it is another example of environmental factors which can impact upon the quality of your night’s sleep.
