Yes ...

Read up on the blue light effect.

There are also some scientific studies indicating that children with extensive

computer use, display the symptoms of autism on cognitive behavioral tests.

This gave me chills, I need to get off my phone before going to bed. No wonder why I am always sleeping about 3 hours.

My wife uses two cellphones and I use one, so at night there are 3 phones on. We will have to change the rules at home from now on. Thanks for sharing great articles @Gandhi!

Here's one other you can add. Lying in bed watching TV and playing games for 14 hours and not doing any activity or exercises whatsoever plus bad foods consumed can jump your fat mass up by as much as 10%.

I do it every Sunday making it a Funday in bed. Then it shoots back down the next day.
