You’re on your phone late at night.
Using your phone or TV screen past bedtime might be raising your risk of developing cancer, according to recent research. Scientists have found a possible link between low levels of melatonin – a hormone responsible for triggering sleepiness – and higher rates of some cancers. Though research is still ongoing, the artificial light emitted by electronic devices is known to interfere with the production of melatonin and thus disrupt sleep cycles.
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, chronic sleeplessness may encourage cancer to develop.
