Friends, as we've told you in our previous article, smartphones have become an integral part of our lives, and we can't live without them. But did you know that looking at a smartphone screen for too long can have serious health effects—both physically and mentally? Let's learn the full details.
1. Eye Strain and Vision Problems
Constantly focusing on a screen can lead to digital eye strain (also known as computer vision syndrome). This condition can lead to:
Blurred vision
Dry eyes
Difficulty focusing
Increased sensitivity to light
Headaches and Migraines
Eye strain often leads to headaches, and in more severe cases, migraines. These can impact your productivity, mood, and overall health.
Mental Health Issues
Spending too much time on your smartphone—especially on social media—increases the risk of anxiety, stress, and depression.
Sleep Problems
Using your smartphone before bed disrupts your natural sleep cycle. This can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep, which can result in:
Insomnia
Poor sleep quality
Daytime fatigue
Neck and Spinal Problems
Also known as "text neck," bending your neck to look at your phone can strain your spine and neck muscles.
