Question

question 2 of 10
which statement best summarizes the impact of digital technology on sleep health?

a. digital technology improves sleep quality but reduces sleep duration.

b. using digital devices increases the chances of snoring.

c. digital technology improves sleep by eliminating stress factors.

d. using digital devices before bed can interfere with getting enough sleep.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Research shows digital tech often disrupts sleep quality (e.g., blue light), so it doesn't improve quality. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Snoring is related to factors like airway issues, not directly to digital device use. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Digital tech can increase stress (e.g., social media, work notifications) rather than eliminate stress factors. Eliminate C.
• Option D: Using digital devices before bed exposes users to blue light, which suppresses melatonin (a sleep - regulating hormone), and the engaging content can delay sleep onset, interfering with getting enough sleep. This aligns with scientific understanding of digital technology's impact on sleep.

Answer:

D. Using digital devices before bed can interfere with getting enough sleep.
