There are plenty of life’s moments that can rob you of important restorative sleep. So why bring another one on yourself? Many people are!

A new study shows social media could cause sleeping issues. Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School Of Medicine questioned nearly 2,000 U.S. adults ages 19 to 32 about their social media use and sleeping patterns. On average, participants spent 61 minutes a day on social media and visited multiple sites 30 times a week.

Additionally, 30 percent of participants had high levels of sleep disturbance, and those who used social media on a regular basis during the week were three times more likely to report sleep disturbances compared to those who spent less time on social media.

Researchers say social media can trigger a cycle of difficulty sleeping leading to an increased use of social media lead to even more problems sleeping! (Daily Mail)
