Do you go to bed,
2
but then pick up your phone and read the news for one more hour?
3
Or do you read terrible stories that make you feel very nervous and scared?
4
Welcome back to Everyday English Talk.
5
I'm Ben.
6
And I'm Anna.
7
Hello everyone.
8
Today we are talking about a very interesting health topic.
9
It is a big question for many people.
10
Exactly.
11
We are looking at a very common bad habit.
12
Why do we love reading bad news before bed?
13
I do this every single night.
14
It makes me tired, but I just cannot stop.
15
Are you a bad news reader too, Ben?
16
Oh, I fall into that trap sometimes.
17
Let's get into it.
18
So, let's talk about the problem first Every night,
19
I turn off the light and get ready to sleep But then,
20
I pick up my phone and open the news What do you usually read on your phone at night, Anna?
21
That is the strange part I do not watch funny videos I read about terrible accidents,
22
money problems in the world,
23
or very scary events These stories make me feel very nervous To feel nervous means you feel worried,
24
a little scared, and you cannot relax.
25
Your heart beats fast.
26
But you still keep reading more bad news, right?
27
Exactly.
28
I know it is bad for me, but I cannot stop.
29
I keep scrolling and scrolling.
30
This modern bad habit has a special name.
31
It is called doom scrolling.
32
Doom means very bad things happening.
33
Scrolling means moving your finger up and down your phone screen to read more.
34
So, doom scrolling means you cannot stop reading bad news on your phone,
35
even when it makes you feel terrible.
36
That word describes my life perfectly.
37
And the next morning is awful.
38
Because my brain was full of bad thoughts all night,
39
I cannot sleep well.
40
I wake up feeling tired and angry.
41
This is a very big problem for many people today.
42
But there is a wrong idea that many people believe about this habit.
43
What is the wrong idea?
44
People think, I need to read the news.
45
I want to know what is happening in the world.
46
If I know about bad things,
47
I can protect myself and my family.
48
They think it is a responsible and smart thing to do.
49
Yes, I feel exactly that way.
50
I feel like a good and smart person because I am reading the news.
51
I completely understand.
52
It feels important.
53
But reading scary stories at 11pm does not help you protect anyone.
54
It only makes your brain stressed and breaks your sleep.
55
To be stressed means to feel a lot of worry and pressure,
56
like a rubber band that is pulled too tight exactly
57
and there is a second problem making things worse the bright white light from your phone screen oh yes
58
that light is terrible for sleep too it tells my brain hey it is still daytime stay awake
59
so we have two problems together.
60
The bad news makes you nervous and stressed.
61
The bright screen light tricks your brain into thinking it is not bedtime.
62
Two problems at once.
63
No wonder I cannot sleep.
64
Why does our brain love bad news so much?
65
Let's find out the truth.
66
Welcome back, everyone.
67
Let's look at the facts.
68
First, why does your brain love bad news?
69
Is something wrong with you?
70
I really hope not.
71
Please explain this to me, Ben.
72
You are completely normal.
73
Your brain is just doing what it was built to do.
74
To understand this, let's go back in time.
75
Think about people who lived a very, very long time ago.
76
Maybe 10,000 years ago.
77
Okay, I can imagine it.
78
They lived in forests and fields.
79
They hunted animals for food every day.
80
Right.
81
And life was extremely dangerous.
82
Every day, they had to watch out for wild animals,
83
poisonous snakes, and bad weather.
84
Here is the key.
85
If they ignored a pretty flower, nothing bad happened.
86
But if they ignored a hidden tiger in the grass, they would die.
87
Oh.
88
So their brain learned to always watch for danger first.
89
Exactly.
90
Because of this, the human brain has one powerful rule.
91
Pay attention to danger.
92
This is our natural warning system.
93
Warning system.
94
I love that phrase.
95
A warning system is something that tells you about danger before it is too late,
96
like a fire alarm in a building.
97
Perfect example.
98
Your brain is your personal warning system.
99
If someone says, look at that beautiful bird, you smile.
100
But if someone says, look at that tiger,
101
your body reacts in one second.
102
You run.
103
Your brain focuses completely on the danger to keep you alive.
104
So, when I read a scary news story on my phone,
105
my brain thinks it is a real tiger in my bedroom.
106
It turns on the warning system and keeps me wide awake.
107
Exactly.
108
Your brain is trying to protect you.
109
But the problem is, the danger in the news story is not in your room.
110
It is far away.
111
You are completely safe in your bed.
112
Your brain's warning system is reacting to something that cannot hurt you.
113
My poor old brain cannot tell the difference between a real tiger and a story on a small screen.
114
It activates the warning system for everything now here is fact number two phone companies
115
and news apps know exactly how your brain works they use
116
it against you they use it against me how these apps
117
want you to stay on your phone for as long as
118
possible the longer you stay the more money they make so they use scary headlines and shocking pictures
119
They know your brain's warning system cannot ignore danger.
120
So they put the scariest story first to catch my attention.
121
Yes.
122
And there is a smart computer system inside every app.
123
It is called a smart system.
124
This smart system watches everything you click on.
125
When you click on one sad story,
126
it immediately shows you 10 more sad stories.
127
It is a circle.
128
I click on one bad story.
129
The smart system shows me more.
130
I click again.
131
And I cannot escape.
132
Exactly.
133
They are using your natural warning system to trap you.
134
But now, you understand the trap.
135
So you can escape it.
136
Let's talk about solutions.
137
Yes, please.
138
I want to sleep well again.
139
What can I do?
140
Solution number one is very simple.
141
Log off from all apps one hour before bed.
142
To log off means to sign out and close all your apps, right?
143
Like pressing the off switch for your online life.
144
Exactly.
145
At 10 o'clock, you log off from everything.
146
No more news, no more social media.
147
The phone is closed for the night.
148
But if I just sit on my bed with nothing to do,
149
I will pick up the phone again in two minutes.
150
That is why solution number two is so important.
151
You need a bedtime routine.
152
A bedtime routine.
153
That means you do the same calming activities every night before sleep,
154
in the same order.
155
Yes.
156
For example, at 10 o'clock,
157
you log off from your phone.
158
Then you make a cup of warm tea.
159
Then you read five pages of a paper book.
160
Then you do some slow, deep breathing.
161
You do this every single night.
162
After a few weeks, my brain will learn.
163
Okay, she is making tea.
164
That means sleep is coming.
165
Time to relax.
166
My brain will automatically calm down.
167
To calm down means to become less worried and more relaxed and peaceful.
168
Your bedtime routine is a signal to your brain to calm down and prepare for sleep.
169
I love that.
170
The routine trains my brain.
171
But Ben, I still have one more problem.
172
Even with a routine, my phone is sitting right next to my bed.
173
When the light is off and I am bored,
174
my hand will just grab it automatically.
175
That is the most common problem.
176
And it is why you need solution number three.
177
Move your phone out of the bedroom completely.
178
But I use my phone as my alarm clock in the morning.
179
The simple answer.
180
Buy a cheap, old-fashioned alarm clock.
181
Put it next to your bed.
182
Charge your phone in the kitchen or the living room overnight.
183
If my phone is in the kitchen,
184
I need to get out of my warm bed and walk across the dark apartment just to read some bad news.
185
That is way too much effort.
186
Exactly.
187
When you make the bad habit difficult and inconvenient,
188
you will naturally choose to just close your eyes instead.
189
And here is the best part.
190
The news will still be there tomorrow morning when you are awake,
191
rested, and ready to read it calmly.
192
Out of sight, out of mind.
193
If the phone is not next to me,
194
I will forget about it and sleep.
195
So, let's quickly recap today's episode.
196
Reading bad news on your phone before bed is called doomscrolling.
197
It activates your brain's natural warning system,
198
makes you feel nervous and stressed,
199
and completely breaks your sleep.
200
Exactly.
201
To sleep better, log off from your apps one hour before bed,
202
build a calming bedtime routine,
203
and move your phone out of your bedroom.
204
Now, let's review five important words from today's talk.
205
Ben, what is number one?
206
Number one is doom scrolling.
207
This is the bad habit of scrolling through a lot of sad and scary news on your phone for a long time,
208
especially right before you sleep.
209
Number two is nervous.
210
This means feeling worried, a little scared, and unable to relax.
211
Reading bad news at night makes us feel very nervous.
212
Number three is warning system.
213
This is the natural ability inside your brain to notice danger and alert your body.
214
It is very old and very powerful.
215
Number four is log off.
216
This means to close and sign out of your apps.
217
Every night, you should log off one hour before bedtime.
218
And the last one, number five, is calm down.
219
This means to become less worried and more relaxed.
220
A good bedtime routine helps your brain calm down and get ready for sleep.
221
That is all for today's episode of Everyday English Talk.
222
We hope you learned something new and useful for your health and your sleep.
223
So, what about you?
224
Will you log off and move your phone to the kitchen tonight?
