We’ve seen gadgets blamed for increased violence, the fall of contemporary art, and even broken hearts, but the latest study to pin more blame on the gizmos we simply can’t do without purports that teens are missing out on crucial sleep thanks to their gadget addictions. According to a recent report by The Sleep Council, “gadgets in bedrooms such as computers and TVs are fueling poor quality ‘junk sleep,’ and considering that nearly a quarter of respondents “admitted that they fell asleep watching TV, listening to music, or with other equipment still running more than once a week,” it’s not too hard to understand how the conclusion was drawn. Nevertheless, it was suggested that these electronics were hindering kids’ ability to get the recommended eight hours of sleep each night, but hey, when (most) free nights begin at 9:00PM, how can ya blame ‘em?
