Streaming and TV series at night: how to enjoy the last screen of the day
Well-being
Ending the day with a chapter of your favorite series is one of life's little pleasures. The catch is that this screen is often the last light your eyes see before you go to sleep.
There's no need to give up your nightly binge: just manage the light so it doesn't take a toll on your rest.
Why watching TV at night affects your sleep
The blue light emitted by screens inhibits melatonin, the hormone that makes you sleepy. One or two hours of bright-light series right before bed can delay when you fall asleep and reduce the quality of your rest.
It's not the series; it's the light. Managing it allows you to enjoy without sacrificing sleep.
How to enjoy without paying the price
- Lower the brightness of your TV or device at night.
- Avoid the screen being the only light: leave a warm, dim lamp on.
- Set a limit before bedtime to slow down.
- Use a maximum blue light filter while watching your series.
A maximum filter for nighttime that reduces blue light while you enjoy your series, protecting your sleep.

Not necessarily. The problem is bright light right before bed; by reducing it—low brightness, dim light, a maximum filter—you can enjoy with less impact.
A phone is usually closer to your eyes, which can increase exposure. Whichever you use, lower the brightness and be mindful of the ambient light.
