Nighttime Shopping Behavior: The era of tossing and turning when unable to sleep has now changed. Nowadays, as soon as many people feel difficulty in sleeping, their hands go straight towards the phone and within a few minutes they get lost in the pages of online shopping. This new habit is gradually making people slaves of technology. Nowadays everyone is worried about sleep. Who slept for how long, which app tracks sleep better, whose sleep was deep for how many hours, these things have become everyday conversations. But the irony is that the more the discussion has increased, the less the quality of sleep has become.
What does the data say?
A data that came last year surprised us. Online shopping between midnight and 6 am has increased by 23 percent. This means that instead of waiting to sleep, people start buying goods on the phone. Many times they don’t even remember this purchase in the morning. Interestingly, women have the highest share in this night shopping. A report says that 66 percent of the total late night shopping is done by women. Perhaps because they find it easiest to pick up the phone during restless nights. But the matter is not limited to this. Looking at the phone screen while sleeping further takes away sleep. The blue light from screens suppresses the hormone that helps induce sleep. This means that in search of relief, people end up spoiling their sleep further.
Impact on lifestyle
Many people use sleep-tracking devices to improve sleep. More than improving sleep, this device sometimes increases people’s anxiety. By getting caught up in the statistics that label sleep as “good” or “bad,” people actually become more sleepless. Gradually this habit not only spoils our sleep but also affects our daily routine. Unnecessary shopping at night becomes a burden on our pocket, mind and sleep. And we don’t even understand when technology has made us a part of our addiction. If you want to get out of this cycle, then the beginning is just this, keep the phone out of the bedroom. If you are unable to sleep, not the screen, but a sip of water or a few deep breaths will help. The step is small, but slowly the nights start becoming calm again.
