Effect of Computers on Sleep → ? – This is really about the impact of computer enabled device use or close proximity to certain types of displays. Not sure of the best name, but this one is not right in my option. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:30, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Any additional comments:

This has bigger problems than the name. Until the scope and synthesis problems are sorted out I don't think it makes sense trying to retitle it, because we don't know what it's ultimately going to be about. For now, simply fixing the capitalisation would be okay for me. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 10:37, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Electronic media and sleep, maybe? --BDD (talk) 18:32, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- If nothing else is offered, that would be a nice choice. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:21, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Information on this page may be slightly out of date. Due to the major increase in electronic media in the past few years, statistics likely differ. More recent surveys could be conducted and added to make this page more accurate.Jmmul164 (talk) 06:12, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some aspects of this article are under-represented, compared to others. More information on the effects of certain devices such as the mobile devices, and or video games may be helpful to support the claim. Jmmul164 (talk) 06:20, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect[edit]

This article has problems, probably best indicated by the fact that it is an orphan. It is too narrow. I suggest a merge and redirect to Sleep#Anthropology_of_sleep, open to the possibility of a spin-out article on Anthropology_of_sleep. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:18, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You may well be right about that, but I just took a lot less time to clean up this page. Since it's an interesting and trendy topic these days, it seems reasonable not to have be buried in the big long Sleep page. NessBird (talk) 06:03, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The page just needs work and there are quite specific issues for it to cover such as the effect of blue light from screens. Andrew D. (talk) 11:23, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adults[edit]

Nothing currently in the article, or even in the non-MEDRS compliant primary sources previously in the article, appears to be a reliable source for establishing this effect in adults. Extrapolating from results in children to adults is original research, as far as I can tell.--tronvillain (talk) 20:54, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
