Some people cannot sleep because they have insomnia, while others cannot sleep because they have internet!
If we see history, we as human beings have been consistently decreasing our sleep hours as the technology has been advancing. Today, by keeping smartphones close to us, we have pushed sleep away. Most of us are experiencing erratic sleep patterns that are dishing out equally erratic health issues. We have surrounded ourselves with technology so much that even at a very young age, people are experiencing unexplained health issues that were not even heard a few decades ago.

Our smartphones and computers emit blue light that can hinder our sleep pattern.
