    No cell phone in bed

    A new study finds that using a cell phone just before bedtime interferes with sleep patterns.

    For some of us, it's the last thing we do each night. Make that final phone call and go to bed. Not anymore, according to a new study .
    Your deepest sleep could be disrupted from the radiation coming from your cell phone, according to the study. This could mean a groggy, grouchy state of mind the next day.


    Florida researchers say teens are suffering from "junk sleep" because of cell phones, laptops and electronic equipment kept by their bed.

    For teens, the effects are even worse.
    They need much more sleep, and they’re not getting it. Experts say teens tend to text late at night, even having conversations under the covers to hide from their parents. Their sleep patterns are a mess. Which can lead to lower grades, lack of concentration, depression and even mood swings.
