Since we wake up until we rest our heads on the pillow, we bomb the device by notification, recognizing that we often get distracted and are stressed at the end of the day. The pressure to keep us connected is stable: more than a quarter (35%) of the Spanish receives information until they go around 23: 25h, According to an Amazon Kindle study, Between 14 and 25 February 2025, built by census with 2,000 adults in Spain.
A study for the kindle shows that 22: 25h is the last hour, about which we must know about information and complete a comfortable activity that helps to spend a good night in terms of sleep quality. Neuroscientist and author Dr. Mark Williams, Professor of Clinical Psychology and Prominent Research Members of the Wellroom Trust at the University of Oxford (United Kingdom), say “Before sleeping, we should spend at least one hour without information to give enough time to rest our mind.”
About three quarters (71%) of Spaniaards often feel distracted. “When we hear a notification sound or feel the phone, our brain interprets it as something that requires immediate attention, so we are in a state of constant vigilance,” Dr. Williams states. “Every time our attention is diverted by a notification, it takes 60 to 90 seconds to focus on the work we were originally doing. These obstacles resulted in a decrease in efficiency.
