What Is Night Time Scrolling?
Night time scrolling ka matlab hai sone se pehle phone par social media, reels, videos, news, ya random content dekhte rehna — often bina realize kiye ki 30 minutes kab 2 ghante ban gaye.
Yeh sirf ek aadat nahi hoti.
Yeh dheere-dheere ek behavioral addiction type ban sakti hai, jahan bina phone ke neend aana mushkil lagne lagta hai.
Isiliye log aksar poochte hain:
Why does night scrolling disturb sleep even when I feel tired?
Why Does Night Scrolling Disturb Sleep? (Science Explained)
1. Blue Light and Sleep Cycle
Phone screens blue light emit karti hain jo brain ko signal deti hai:
“Abhi din hai, mat so.”
Isse:
Melatonin suppression due to phone use hota hai
Body ka natural sleep cycle delay ho jaata hai
Neend aane me zyada time lagta hai
Yahi reason hai ki blue light and sleep cycle directly connected hote hain.
2. Dopamine and Night Scrolling
Night scrolling unpredictable rewards deta hai — ek aur reel, ek aur post, ek aur notification.
Har “new” cheez par dopamine release hota hai.
Result?
Brain alert ho jaata hai
Relax hone ke bajay stimulation badhta hai
Is dopamine spike ki wajah se:
Mind wind-down mode me nahi jaata
Sleep latency badh jaati hai
Yeh hai dopamine and night scrolling ka hidden loop.
3. Phone Use Before Bed = Mental Overload
Sone se pehle brain ko calm signals chahiye hote hain.
Par phone use before bed sleep problems create karta hai because:
Information overload hota hai
Emotional reactions trigger hote hain
Comparison, anxiety aur FOMO activate hota hai
Body bed par hoti hai, par brain “on” rehta hai.
4. Brain Conditioning: Bed = Phone
Roz-roz night scrolling se brain ek association bana leta hai:
Bed → Phone → Stimulation
Iske baad:
Bed par aate hi phone urge hoti hai
Phone ke bina neend mushkil lagti hai
Ye phone addiction aur social media addiction ka early stage hota hai — isi dopamine-driven loop ki wajah se hum scroll karte hi rehte hain.
