Smartphones with ‘bedtime mode’ to avoid interrupting sleep

British doctors claim smartphones should have a ‘bedtime mode’ that automatically activates to avoid interrupting sleep. “Each model is brighter, delaying the sleep hormone.”

Doctors ask for “more responsibility from manufacturers” and state the key is to “set the mode automatically.” With a softer light the body can produce the sleep hormone without delays. Manufacturers claim they are working on reducing the light’s intensity.
