Using a mobile phone is an
addiction nowadays every generation, either children teenagers or older are
fond of using phones at night as a last thing. And in the morning as the first
thing. No one wants to miss any gossip trends or urgent meetings or emails. But
have you ever thought
that maybe getting attached to your phone like this can
affect your body in more than one way? Nowadays, it's a common practice to show
poems and cartoons to make your child sleep This is wrong, it stops development
of their brain affects the sleep quantity and quality both and due to
radiations. They have a greater chance of getting health issues not only
children, but adolescents also have the habit to chat, socialize and surf
before going to bed. According to a study using a phone before bed can suppress
melatonin a hormone which helps in signaling the brain that it's time for sleep
it is helpful in sleep cycles. Within years, your body adapts to the changing
of light by the warm red light of a sunset, which means that the body needs to
sleep well. The bright blue light of the morning is a sign that the body needs
to wake up. The blue light emitting from phones laptops and tablets mimics
daylight and suppresses the production of melatonin. Reducing melatonin makes
it harder to fall asleep. Instead of melatonin. Your body starts to produce
cortisol which is responsible for waking you up. This results in less sleep
making everyone a night owl that means it takes us longer to fall asleep and
many years of delaying sleep can mess with our internal body clocks. Sleep is
very important for everybody. When it comes to work, study and chores if you
aren't getting proper sleep, your whole day is going to be less focused, less
energized and lazy. Many years of having sleep deprived routines can lead to
diseases like obesity, diabetes, etc. Because during the day neurotoxins are
built up which are supposed to get cleaned out at night by having a great
sleep. If your circadian system is disturbed, you are going to have a lifetime
of issues. If you are a web surfer and it's your habit to scroll every social
media app before sleep or check your email you are triggering your brain to
stay awake. Using technology before bed can trick your brain that it needs to
stay awake and can make it hard to relax and settle into slumber to make sure
technology isn't harming your slumber. Get yourself at least 30 minutes without
any gadget before going to bed it can help you sleep faster. Technology is
supposed to make your life easier but using it before bed is getting you in
trouble it delays REM sleep deeper levels of sleep leaving you staring at walls
you have University in the morning but you aren't able to sleep just because
you have scrolled on your phone thinking of an upcoming project replying to
friends or making stories in your head of fantasies you just saw on social
media all of this increases anxiety doubting your emotions and thinking leading
to release stress hormone cortisol your body got into a fight or flight
response and cortisol is released in your adrenal gland. To combat these
invisible midnight stresses. Many of us have a bad habit of keeping a mobile
phone just beside our pillow. Not only are its radiations harmful, but the beep
of a notification late night messages or calls can disturb your sleep. You
should place your phone far from you while sleeping. We all love socializing
but do it in a way that can't harm your health. So, do you know anyone who is
always using their phone?
