Only increased sleep pressure allows us to fall asleep.<\/li><li><strong>Stimulus overload images\/movies:<\/strong> Stress produces cortisol. Cortisol is the antagonist of melatonin. Permanent cortisol production hinders the production of the sleep hormone \u201cmelatonin\u201d. Sensory overload is a central aspect, especially through social media. The subconscious also plays a strong role here, as even image sequences that we don&#8217;t consciously notice while scrolling are processed and stuck. But also the hight cutting frequency in films and news also has a high influence on stress potential due to the associated transmission of stimuli. The fear-mongering information policy of a wide variety of media, which reaches us 24\/7 via digital devices, is doing its part to contribute to sleep disorders.<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Text overstimulation:<\/strong> But pure text content also has a high stress potential. If content upsets us and we allow ourselves to be drawn into the vortex of discussion, this also has consequences for the way the events are processed in the brain. This has fatal consequences, especially before going to sleep.<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Expectations:<\/strong>Digitalization is also full of expectations, especially when it comes to response times and accessibility. Stress is created on the message receiver&#8217;s side because a quick response is expected; on the sender&#8217;s side, stress is created when someone does not meet expectations in terms of response time. The same applies here: the closer to \u201cgo to bed time\u201d, the more fatal.<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Advertising:<\/strong> But other \u201cbroadcasters\u201d are also vying for attention. Pop-ups, advertising breaks, digital posters of all kinds scream at us 24\/7 to draw our attention. Here too, although we can try to ignore them, our subconscious cannot be tricked so easily. Even when you go to the toilet during a commercial break, the increased volume tries to maintain acoustic contact with the you, even if you wisely don&#8217;t take your smartphone with you to the toilet.<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Addictive potential:<\/strong> The addictive potential of digitalization has a very special quality. Quite a few people have now reached a point where life takes place predominantly in the digital world. Abstinence is not seen as a benefit or detox, but rather as \u201cmissing out on time in life\u201d, which then also affects sleep. People don&#8217;t want to sleep so they don&#8217;t miss anything. This was already very widespread even without digitalization (e.g. workaholics), but digital development has given it a much nastier version.<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Obligation to update:<\/strong> It&#8217;s not just the expectations regarding response time that harbor digital stress potential, but also the expectations regarding &#8220;being up to date&#8221;. Constantly new offers, updates, upgrades and the explosion in the use of apps, software, etc. cause stress after a certain age. Today&#8217;s knowledge will be out of date tomorrow. People are increasingly no longer able to keep up with the speed of digital development. In our projects we have encountered people who were unable to access their own emails&#8230; and that is not uncommon! Man can no longer get rid of the spirits that (supposed) progress called. Let&#8217;s be honest: What percentage of what Microsoft Word can do now do you actually use?<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Mobile communications:<\/strong> Mobile phone radiation is a much controversial topic. Studies that confirm negative effects and those that deny them are at odds. Our experiences? For the first time here in the Dominican Republic we at least have the opportunity to avoid WiFi. If we turn off our router, no other signal can be measured in the area. Even if cell phone reception is not particularly good here, it cannot be completely suppressed.

Lots of words for what is essentially the same phenomenon. We ourselves also have a radiation field that is individual to each person. I don&#8217;t want to go into depth here. In my last article \u201cCymatics\u201d I reported on how different tones can make different effects on substances such as water, quartz, etc. visible. We consist predominantly of water, and therefore it would be very naive to believe that waves of any form, such as sound waves, have no effect on humans. Anyone who has ever stood in front of an active bass speaker knows what I mean.<\/p><p>Each additional source of radiation creates more chaos in the body. You can compare it to a stone. If we throw a stone into the water, the waves will form evenly. If we now throw 5 stones into the water at the same time, chaos and a much more intense wave formation will occur. A uniformly controlled development of the occuring waves is no longer possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bff2b26 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bff2b26\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-261008e\" data-id=\"261008e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4edee7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d4edee7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The situation is similar with radiation. If a radiation source may not be dangerous in itself, it is the sum that creates the problem, similarly, for example, with critical values \u200b\u200bfor pesticides in food. If I eat one food that adheres to the limit, it is different than if I eat 5 foods that each individually meet the limit. Then my total consumption may already be above the limit.<\/p><p>In principle, the effects of radiation would have to be measured for each individual person in the field in which he moves, but this would only be possible using wearables. So everyone has to decide how they want to optimize their sleep setting. It&#8217;s worth a trial for sure. We ourselves definitely try to expose ourselves to as little radiation as possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1f1e3ee elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1f1e3ee\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f2226d7\" data-id=\"f2226d7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f42d3a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0f42d3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sleep problems - Conclusion<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-96bc937 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"96bc937\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b9986e6\" data-id=\"b9986e6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ed5217 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2ed5217\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I have really only touched on the stressful moments and potential causes of sleep problems and sleep disorders that can arise as a result of digitalization.
