When we can't fall asleep, we will toss and turn in the bed and lie down on our phones. However, playing with a mobile phone not only interferes with our sleep, but also causes psychological problems in severe cases.

The habit of using electronic devices before going to bed will hinder sleep.

In fact, research published by Dr. Mariana G. Figueiro's research team at the Institute of Renslier Institute of Technology in the United States shows that the light emitted by smartphones can cause sleep disorder by inhibiting the secretion of the hypnotic hormone melatonin, and can also make the body nervous. After two hours of exposure to cell phone light, the production of melatonin will be reduced by 22%. This has been confirmed to interfere with the sleep of adolescents in particular.

This can lead to insomnia and even depression.

The research group of Professor Xu Xiuyan (sound) of the Department of Psychology at the Korean Integrity Women's University analyzed in detail the sleep habits and 24-hour lifestyles of 106 adults in their 20s and 30s. The results showed that people who delayed sleeping time due to playing with their mobile phones were 25% higher than those who did not play with their mobile phones and their anxiety values ​​were more than 14%. For insomnia, 48.1% of people who do not play with their mobile phones belong to the risk group, but 81.5% of people who postpone sleeping for the sake of playing with their mobile phones belong to the risk group.

In addition, Professor Xu suggested: "If you can't sleep, you can try to close your eyes and rest for 20 minutes first. If it doesn't work, it's best to put your phone aside, get up and go to the living room to read books or turn on the small desk lamp to listen to some light music that you like quiet . It should be noted that you should not turn on the brighter spotlights in the room, etc.."
