TFP: Sitting in front of a computer or TV screen late into the night or leaving it on when you fall asleep could increase your chances of becoming depressed, according to a study by U.S. scientists.

Remember kids: The conclusion was that late night computer use could increase chances of becoming depressed. This rather modest claim is not refuted because you or even everyone you know don't feel the same way.
...and really, all I'm saying now should be very obvious. I hope it is.
I think they have it backwards. People are up watching BS at 4am BECAUSE theyre bored or depressed. YOU either have insomnia, a drug addiction, no life, or work a 3rd shift like me at the moment, either way its derpressing lol. It doesnt cause depression though imo. I like being a night owl it just sucks that the good shows are on earlier and nothings open except walmart.
Its like a study saying slitting your wrists may be linked to suicide because more people who slit their wrists wind up committing suicide. NO SHIT. The slitting of wrists is because theyre suicidal not the other way around.
even if it's true the author does say that it lapses if you go back to the regular dark-light cycle routine.
what new to me is that the author stated that exposure to night-time light has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer and obesity. i wonder how it is connected and women better take note with this one.
This is a crock of shit. I'm on my ipod late at night browsing the net and such, listening to music and I sleep with my TV on and I only get depressed when I think of how fucked up and confused this world really is.
