The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents limit children's "screen time" -- including online entertainment, texting and TV -- to no more than two hours per day. CNET
Kids who regularly plugged into social networking sites before bedtime reported sleeping nearly an hour less on school nights than those who rarely connected online, a new study shows.
"Using technology in the bedroom may result in sleep loss, delays in initiating sleep, daytime sleepiness and more," the study's lead author, Teresa Arora, told Reuters Health in an email.
"In turn, this may affect daytime performance, particularly at school," Arora, from Weill Cornell Medical College in Doha, Qatar, said.

Two new studies suggest what your kids watch on television could affect their behavior. Vinita Nair reports it's not just what they're watching, ...
Social networking was associated with the biggest loss of sleep. Those who said they usually connected to friends online before getting into bed reported sleeping the least - an average of 8 hours and 10 minutes a night - compared with 9 hours and 2 minutes among those who never connected.
Earlier studies have linked sleep deprivation to obesity, depression, difficulty regulating emotions and lower grades. A Chinese study published last month found staying up late may raise teens' blood pressure.
For the current study, the researchers analyzed surveys on sleep and technology habits completed by 738 students at seven randomly selected schools in the Midlands region of England in 2010.
Kids who frequently viewed TV before bed were four times more likely to report waking up several times during the night than non-viewers, and frequent social networkers were three times more likely to wake up a lot. Kids who regularly played video games or listened to music at bedtime had significantly more difficulty falling asleep, the researchers reported in Sleep Medicine.

Kids should unplug before sleep, study suggests
Jan. 24--California public health officials today said that 95 people statewide have died of the flu, confirming that the H1N1 virus now circulating is genetically no different than viral strain behind the H1N1 2009 worldwide pandemic.
"The virulence of the virus is dictated by the structure of the virus," Dr. Gil Chavez, state epidemiologist said in a press conference. "As far as we know there have been no changes genetically to this virus and the one we had seen during the pandemic. We consider this and the 2009 pandemic virus to be the same strain."
Typically, viral strains mutate from year to year, prompting slight changes in flu vaccines as public health oficials try to stay ahead of the mutations. But The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta had warned clinicians to expect this year's season to mirror the 2009 season with young adults and otherwise healthy middle-aged people hit hard, as well as those with underlying medical conditions.
Today's figures of 95 deaths more than doubled the number of fatalities -- 45 statewide -- released last week. At this time last season, Chavez said, nine people had died of influenza-like symptoms.
Chavez said the state determinined that 80 percent of those who perished did not have a flu vaccine. But 20 percent of the deceased did get immunized with the flu vaccine.
"We know that no vaccine is 100 percent effective, he said. "We are always going to have some people who get vaccinated and do not develop full immunity. Unfortunately we can see from the numbers, some of those may end up dying."
In Sacramento County, 14 people have died of the flu so far, said Olivia Kasirye, the county's public health officer.
