If I don't overshoot my planned sleeping time by 1 hour doomscrolling, I'm usually sick. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

You may need to update your "no brainier"

As those of us who scroll in bed have long known:

One study, published in the National Sleep Foundation’s journal, Sleep Health, investigated iPhone use in young adults before bed and found no significant differences in sleep outcomes regardless of whether subjects used a phone with a less-blue display, a normal display or no phone at all.

Several studies have suggested blue light emissions suppress the production of the sleep-promoting hormone, melatonin. But researchers now say these effects are not as extreme as previously believed, amounting to, at most, a 10-minute delay due to screen use.

That's talking about being on the phone before bed, not while trying to sleep. I'm not talking about people doing one last scroll before they go to bed, I'm talking about people lying in bed, scrolling through their feeds, expecting to fall asleep with their phone in hand.

And yeah, I thought it was a no-brainer that actively reading social media makes it harder to fall asleep while doing so, but these days I'm not so sure how common this "common sense" is.
