What are the dangers of playing with mobile phone while sleeping

Sleep is something that everyone has to do. Sleep is very important for physical health. If normal sleep and health cannot be guaranteed, it will be very bad for the body. Developing good sleeping habits is also very important. It can keep the body in a healthier condition. So what are the dangers of playing with mobile phones while sleeping? Today we will introduce it to you.

1. Affects the biological clock

Using a cell phone, tablet or other light-emitting electronic product in bed for more than an hour can reduce a person's total melatonin production by about 22%. Once people's melatonin is suppressed to this extent, their physiological cycle will also be affected. The direct impact is that people will always be in light sleep, or even greatly reduce their sleep time. That is to say, after playing with your phone for 1 hour, you may have to play for another 3 hours because you can't fall asleep.

2. Chronic strain

The neck is drooped too much, the body is bent unnaturally, and the neck is leaning forward more and more. This causes the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the human neck to be continuously stretched forward, and after a long time it will be in a state of chronic congestion. Over time, it is easy to compress the vertebral artery and induce cervical spondylosis, causing chronic strain.

3. Affect vision

Lying sideways puts the greatest pressure on the left and right eyes. If you continue like this within a month, it will cause vision deviation in the left and right eyes. (Why some people have different degrees of glasses on the left and right sides, while people are born with the same degree of both eyes? It is because some people like to lie sideways to play with their mobile phones, read novels, and read comics.) The pressure of the pillow on the eyes causes insufficient blood supply, and after a long time, the eyes will feel swollen and have short-term image overlap. This cannot be cured by eye drops! So really, for the sake of our eyes, we must never do this!

4. Cervical kyphosis

Normal people all have a physiological curvature of the cervical spine. If there is no physiological curvature, or even if it bends in the opposite direction, it is called "reverse arch". "Cervical kyphosis" is the most common pathological basis of cervical spondylosis. A high pillow can cause the head to flex forward, increase the stress on the lower cervical spine, and may accelerate cervical degeneration. Bad habits such as lying on a high backrest to watch TV, surfing the Internet for a long time, or playing with mobile phones while lying down will cause the cervical spine to be stretched for a long time, and its lordosis will gradually decrease, become straight, or even become reversed.

The dangers of playing with mobile phones while sleeping are as introduced above. If you can't get rid of this bad habit, your sleep quality will get worse and worse, and if you don't pay attention, it will cause other health problems. Therefore, we must maintain relatively healthy sleeping habits in normal times, and also maintain healthy other lifestyle habits.
