Sleep deprivation is growing in many developed countries, and researchers from Milan's Bocconi University believe one contributor is broadband internet. While the team leaned on extensive survey data out of Germany for objectivity, the link doesn't seem all that farfetched, as higher quality internet could certainly mean increased time spent on devices. "High-speed Internet makes it very enticing to stay up later to play video games, surf the web and spend time online on social medias," the researchers concluded. "Given the growing awareness of the importance of sleep quantity and quality for our health and productivity, providing more information on the risks associated with technology use in the evening may promote healthier sleep and have non-negligible effects on individual welfare and well-being."
