Dr. Charles Czeisler of Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital  in Boston, reports that the high tech nature of our lives is to be  blame. Many Americans spend the evening connected to a high tech device,  and that time spent watching television, surfing the internet, playing  video games, or using the phone only hurts sleep habits. In the same way  that the loud noises and lights of Las Vegas make it the city that  never sleeps, experts have found that the lights emitted from electronic  devices stimulates our brains, preventing us from getting a full night  of sleep. Teens, in particular, are susceptible to late night technology  use and its subsequent sleeplessness. Relaxing in front of the tv to  unwind actually has an opposite effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many Americans fail to get a good night\u2019s rest, and a lack of restful sleep can lead to unsafe driving, reduced productivity, and reduced quality of health.
