But checking social media directly before bed may raise the likelihood of having terrifying nightmares, according to a study.
The find comes as surveys show up to three-quarters of Americans use social media around bedtime.
Results showed that the most common nightmare was being unable to log in to social media platforms followed by the 'disruption of relationships with other social media users.'
'Social media use is part of the daily life routine of many people, which can sometimes lead to addiction.'
More studies needs to be conducted to fully understand the implications of social media use, especially as technology continues to evolve.
