You know how we always hear parents say that when a kid does something exciting and stimulating right before bedtime, like playing a violent video game or watching horror movies, it would affect their ability to fall asleep? According to a recent research, the myth is NOT true, well, not 100% true at least. According to the study conducted at the Flinders University Sleep Laboratory, they put 13 teenage boys together, made them play Call of Duty 4 for 50 minutes, and most of them fell asleep within 7.5minutes while they only took 4minutes to sleep after watching a DVD, which is not that much of a difference.
"Initially we were surprised that playing the violent video game did not lead to a much longer time taken to fall asleep. Although the scientific literature is sparse when it comes to measuring sleep latency associated with playing video games, anecdotally a lot of people report difficulty falling asleep after playing video games at night." -- research supervisor Michael Gradisar, PhD, senior lecturer in clinical child psychology at Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia.
Are you encountering such problems? Or are your parents lying to you so you would stop playing games and actually get your work/homework done?
