Why Sleep Matters: The Science of Screens, Light, and the Sleeping Brain

In an age where digital devices are never far from reach, the quality of our sleep has become one of the most powerful—and most neglected—levers for our well-being. In 'Why Sleep Matters: The Science of Screens, Light, and the Sleeping Brain', science writer Priya Anand Rao takes you on a clear-eyed journey into the fascinating science of how screens and artificial light shape our nightly rest. Drawing on the latest scientific consensus, she explains why that late-night scroll is more than just a bad habit: it's a biological tug-of-war with your brain's ancient sleep machinery. But this book is not about guilt or shaming. It is about understanding, agency, and practical change. You will learn how blue light affects melatonin, why timing matters as much as content, and how small environmental shifts can restore your natural sleep rhythm. From building a serene bedroom sanctuary to setting healthy boundaries for children, 'Why Sleep Matters' offers actionable, evidence-informed strategies that truly work.
