Imagine what will be your condition if you don’t find your phone just for few seconds, you feel panick, stays in discomfort because you are addicted to it, you feel bored without phone.
According to an U.S. psychologist an average person spents more than 12 hours on screen. We all know the consequences of this, that it will trigger our physical and mental health though we spent our precious time. Research says technology can be stressful, digital devices can disrupt the quantity and quality of sleep.
Furthermore, the blue light emitted by screens can interfere with our sleep patterns. Exposure to blue light, especially in the evening, disrupts the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep. This leads to difficulty falling asleep and poor-quality sleep, both of which are linked to increased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. Over time, sleep deprivation can have a serious impact on our overall mental health, further exacerbating the negative effects of excessive screen time.
Don’t worry, if you are also willing to reduce your screen time I can help you out!
