Summary | Poor sleep habits are detrimetal to one's health. Part of a good sleep hygiene is to stop being exposed to short-wave blue light - emitted by all kinds of screens - in the evening before going to sleep. So one should really stop using a laptop or a smartphone a few hours before going to sleep because it blocks the production of sleep-inducing hormones. One should also refrain from checking one's email (work-related) late at night because it keeps people from winding down psychologically.
