primary The study found that people who are nearsighted tend to fall asleep later and get less quality sleep. According to the researchers, this lack of sleep is caused by altered circadian rhythms and decreased melatonin production. The use of screens is widely highlighted: by emitting blue light, they delay sleep and are also responsible for the sharp rise in cases of myopia among young people. Nearsighted people are more likely to sleep poorly at night than people with clear near vision. This is the conclusion reached by researchers at Flinders University in Australia. at A study published in the…

Caffeine does not affect the performance of complex cognitive tasks Researchers in the Sleep Lab evaluated the effectiveness of caffeine in countering the negative effects of sleep deprivation, in 275 participants who asked to perform a simple attention task as well as a more difficult spatial orientation task requiring the…
