Sleep Deprived

Posted May 16, 2011 2:18 PM

Are electronic gadgets robbing you of sleep? Addiction to electronic technology appears to be the culprit for many people who don't get enough sleep. A recent sleep poll suggests a direct link between having a hard time sleeping and those who use computers, play video games, watch TV, etc. within an hour of hitting the sack — 63% of 1,508 so reported. Based on your own experience, is the poll on to something?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Engineering...Beyond the Classroom, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Engineering...Beyond the Classroom today.
