Screen Time

A few days ago RationalThought and I were discussing our poor sleep habits. For example, I start looking at Pinterest at 11:30pm and suddenly it is 1:30am and I'm not even sleepy. She had decided to implement a "no screens in the bedroom" rule for herself. It sounded like a good idea. I do feel like I have a technology addiction (as does almost every American). I had an early meeting the next day so that night I followed her advice and went to bed. The next morning I woke up and looked at the time on my phone. Then, while still lying in my bed, I checked my email on my phone because doesn't everyone do that? There was an email canceling my meeting! So I went back to sleep for 2 more hours, never having to leave my warm bed. Moral of the story: screens in the bedroom are a very good thing.
