It's 11 PM.

You should be asleep, but you're watching a video on your phone and tomorrow you'll wake up, and go to work, where you'll stare at a computer for eight hours.
3
When you get home, you might even watch a movie on TV.
4
So if you're anything like the average American adult, you spend more than seven hours a day staring at digital screens.
5
So what's all this screen time actually doing to your body and brain?
6
Surprise, surprise, humans did not evolve to stare at bright electronic screens all day so our eyes are suffering the consequences.
7
An estimated 58% of people who work on computers experience what's called computer vision syndrome.
8
It's a series of symptoms that include eye strain, blurred vision, headaches, and neck and back pain.
9
And in the longterm this amount of screen time could be damaging our vision permanently.
10
Since 1971, cases of nearsightedness in the US have nearly doubled, which some scientists partly link to increased screen time.
11
And in Asia today, nearly 90% of teens and adults are nearsighted.
12
But it's not just the brightness of our screens that affect us, it's also the color.
13
Screens emit a mix of red, green, and blue light.
14
Similar colors to sunlight.
15
And over a millennia it was blue wavelengths in sunlight that helped us keep our circadian rhythms in sync with our environment.
16
But since our circadian rhythms are more sensitive to blue light than any others, a problem occurs when we use our screens at night.
17
Typically when the sun sets we produce the hormone melatonin.
18
This hormone regulates our circadian rhythms, helping us feel tired and fall asleep.
19
But many studies have found that blue light from screens can disrupt this process.
20
For example, in one small study, participants who spent four hours reading e-books before bed for five nights, produced 55% less melatonin than participants that read print books.
21
What's more, the e-book readers reported that they were more alert before bed, took longer to fall asleep and reach restorative REM state, and were more tired the next morning.
22
But perhaps the most concerning changes we're starting to see from all this screen time is in kid's brains.
23
An ongoing study, supported by the NIH has found that some preteens who clocked over seven hours a day on screens had differences in a part of their brain called the cortex.
24
That is the region responsible for processing information from our five senses.
25
Usually the cortex gets thinner as we mature, but these kids had thinner cortexes earlier than other kids who spent less time on screens.
26
Scientists aren't sure what this could mean for how the kids learn and behave later in life, but the same data also showed that kids who spent more than two hours a day on screens scored lower in thinking and in language skill tests.
27
To be clear, the NIH data can't confirm if more time spent staring at screens causes these effects, but they'll have a better idea of any links as they continue to follow and study these kids over the next decade.
28
It's no doubt that screens have changed the way we communicate, but only time will tell what other changes are on the horizon for human kind.

이 레슨에 대해
"What Staring At A Screen All Day Is Doing To Your Brain And Body | The Human Body"으로 쉐도잉 기법을 사용해 영어를 연습합니다.
매일 15~30분 꾸준히 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹에 대한 자신감이 길러집니다.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
