More than one-third of 15-year-old children in the UK could be classified as 'extreme internet users', or those who are online for more than six hours daily outside of school.
A report from UK think-tank Education Policy Institute (EPI) states that children in the UK have a higher rate of extreme usage (37.8 percent of all UK 15 year olds) than other countries. Only Chile reported more.
The think-tank examined the relation between social media use (including online time) and mental illness:
While twelve percent of children who spend no time on social networking websites on a normal school day have symptoms of mental ill health, that figure rises to 27 percent for those who are on the sites for three or more hours a day.
Here's a hint: if one third of your kids think a certain way, it's a personality trait not a mental illness.

LEDs are digital and incandescents are analog? The importance of finding an infrared sauna that doesn't emit "dangerous non-native EMFs"? Is this some sort of joke?
You can't seriously expect us to heed such quackery.

I didn't read that report. But the main point is that white-LED and definitely fluorescent lighting has a very fragmented spectrum that looks alright for human eyes. That is probably a bad idea to be exposed to for a long duration as the main light source.
