Smartphones May Affect Sleep—but Not Because of Blue Light

Some even allow notifications and messages to disrupt their sleep.
WTF is wrong with people!?
-
Someone with, for instance, older kids who could get themselves into a situation (and only communicate by text) and a parent in a different time zone who's got Alzheimer's and is being cared for by a stressed-out sibling who needs support and agreement from the rest of us by group email.

I have had multiple people in my life tell me that it is irresponsible to not have my phone on, 24/7, in case they need to message me about something.
These are the same people who get angry anytime I message them and they are busy, but also get angry if I am busy and don't immediately reply to them.
I've been woken up so many times at 2 am...
At least in my life, its quite common for people to be hypocritical douchebags.

Most phones these days allow you to set a DND schedule which you can customize to allow specific numbers for emergencies and people that don't abuse it.

Do Not Disturb, since I started using that feature I sleep much better. I even have set to automatically go into that state when I go to bed.
Also began using it for other things as well. Like watching tv and when I am driving.

This is work people or life people?
-
-
I set my phone to automatically go into Do Not Disturb mode at night, but still ring if my parents call me. If they call at night, it must be urgent.
-
That seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do, very different from allowing "notifications and messages to disrupt their sleep".

It's called working in IT. Gotta make sure those servers are up.
-
if this is the case, it should be in your contract, you should get paid for on-call duty and get a free SIM and/or phone for those notifications, so you can mute or shutdown notifications from your private SIM/phone
-
Bruh I work in IT (maintaining servers too) and my day ends at 5. You need a union. If you're on call literally all the time you should be getting paid overtime.
-
I don't know about you but I will not be taking after hours calls for work without being compensated for being available
-
-
I sometimes forget to turn on do not disturb so this has definitely happened to me before ¯(ツ)/¯
-
Set a wake up alarm and your phone will automatically enter do not disturb mode for the 8 hours before your alarm
-
I'm pretty sure that forgetting and allowing are two very different things.
-
Sleep by Android and I'm sure some other apps turn it on for you when you plug it in at night, then turn it off when your alarm goes.

...because of anxiety from doomscrolling and notifications

lemmy solves half of that

Lovely paywall. Super interesting.

I've not read the article yet, but I'm going to assume it's affecting my sleep because I'm reading about how it's affecting my sleep at 04:21 instead of, you know, going to sleep. Just a guess
It's that, plus "notifications can disrupt your sleep."
Hey ADHD out of sight out of mind does have some up sides I guess
Just. One. More. Scroll.
Next section will be the perfect one to end on bro, bro I promise, just a little more bro
