Entering China“Hey, what are you doing?”
Xiaobian pinched his fingers, are you looking at your phone?
How long have you been playing on your phone today?
Since I got up, have I never left my mobile phone?
In today’s society, we are becoming more and more inseparable from mobile phones, right?! Not only because mobile phones facilitate our lives, but also because the content in mobile phones is constantly consuming our time.
When walking, riding in the car, between work, and eating…… You can see everyone holding their mobile phones, and many people have to habitually play with their mobile phones before going to bed to fall asleep with peace of mind.
Playing mobile phones for a long time is harmful to the body, and playing mobile phones before going to bed is even more harmful to physical and mental health, so let’s find out today.
5 pains come to you
1. Cause visual impairment
Many people play with their mobile phones before going to bed and like to turn off the lights to enjoy the dim atmosphere, but they don’t know that such an environment is very irritating to the eyes.
Due to the stark contrast between the brightness of the mobile phone screen and the dim surrounding environment, this will cause great irritation to the eyes, in this case, playing the mobile phone for too long is very easy to cause eye fatigue, and there may also be an increase in the length of the eye axis leading to the occurrence or aggravation of myopia.
Not only that, but using the eyes in the dark can cause the pupils to dilate, which may block the circulation of fluid in the eye, which in turn can induce glaucoma.
There is nothing more leisurely than lying down and playing with your phone, if you lie on your back, you can still accept it, but if you are lying on your side and playing with your phone, the pressure on your eyes is really not small.
When lying on the side, as the body deviates, the eyeball at the bottom of the eye will be compressed, the blood circulation speed in the eye area will be slowed down, and the adjustment of the ciliary muscle will also be limited to a certain extent, which will damage the vision.
If you lie on one side for a long time and play with your phone, the power of your eyes will be different.
Not only that, when lying on your side and playing with your phone, because the angle of the left and right eyes is different, it is very likely to cause strabismus problems.
2. Cause cervical spine problems
Cervical spine problems mainly stem from poor posture when playing with mobile phones.
The normal cervical spine of the human body presents a “C” shape, which can not only ensure the flexibility of cervical spine movement, but also reduce the weight load of the cervical intervertebral disc.
However, when we play with our mobile phones, our bodies often unconsciously lean forward, and our heads are lowered more and more, and maintaining this posture for a long time makes our cervical spine begin to deform, and lordosis gradually decreases, straightens and even arches back.
In this way, the most obvious result is that it will cause undesirable posture such as round shoulders and hunchback.
And the benefits of the “C” shaped cervical spine are not there, the gravity of the waist, abdomen, joints, etc. increases, so we often feel that back pain is the reason for playing with mobile phones for a long time.
In severe cases, it can also lead to bone problems such as herniated discs and narrowing of the lumbar intervertebral space.
There is such a problem when playing with mobile phones every day, not to mention the posture of playing with mobile phones in bed, whether it is lying on your back, lying on your side, or lying on your stomach, it is deepening the wear and tear on your joints.
3. Cause the skin condition to deteriorate
In fact, it’s not just the skin condition that gets worse, too much playing with the phone can really make people ugly.
The most obvious is the skin problem.
Although some experts have said that the harm of mobile phone radiation to the body is almost negligible, if the skin is exposed to mobile phone radiation for a long time, its protective barrier will be destroyed, causing skin moisture loss, resulting in dry skin and other problems.
Cell phone radiation can also cause pigmentation in the skin, which can lead to dull yellow skin. When the symptoms of dull yellow are severe, it can also cause skin spots and darkening.
As for some people who think that their skin will become oily when they play with their mobile phones at night, it is actually caused by mobile phone radiation and staying up late.
Mobile phone radiation has damaged the skin barrier for a long time, and staying up late has caused endocrine disorders, which makes many people have problems such as oily skin, clogged pores, and acne.
The second is the problem of wrinkles.
Experts explain that because the font of the mobile phone screen is generally relatively small, and if the surrounding environment is relatively dark, people will habitually squint their eyes in order to see pictures and text clearly, which will unconsciously increase the corners of the eyes and the wrinkles between the eyebrows (Sichuan character lines).
Looking at the phone for a long time will unconsciously make the forehead muscles contract, and in the long run, it will lead to the appearance or aggravation of forehead lines.
As for bowing the head, it is most likely to appear in our neck lines.
In addition, it is the appearance of a double chin.
With bad skin, wrinkles, and a double chin, it’s no wonder that this look isn’t ugly!
4. Affect sleep
We often can’t stop playing on our phones, because the rich content of our phones stimulates the brain to secrete dopamine, causing us to get more excited about playing on our phones.
If you play with your phone before going to bed, it will often cancel out the original drowsiness and delay the sleep time.
Not only that, but playing with our phones before going to bed can also affect the quality of our sleep.
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the United States have done experiments, and the results show that as long as 2 hours of use of electronic products with a backlit display screen before going to bed, melatonin can be inhibited by 22%.
It is important to know that melatonin is an important factor affecting sleep, once the hormone secretion is inhibited, the most direct impact is that it is difficult for people to fall asleep, even if they fall asleep, they are only in a state of light sleep, which seriously affects the quality of sleep.
5. Affect mental health
People who play mobile phones for a long time have difficulty concentrating and are often absent-minded, and if they are children, it is easy to cause symptoms such as mental decline and slow response.
If you always play with your mobile phone before going to bed, due to the difficulty of falling asleep and the reduction of sleep time, you will accumulate over time, and when you do not get enough rest, your spirit and temper will become worse and worse.
Mobile phones are indeed very important to our lives, but we must also pay attention to the use of mobile phones.
By doing so, you can reduce the harm of playing with your phone before bed!
1. The posture of playing with the mobile phone should be correct
Leaning will affect the cervical spine, lying on the side will cause poor vision in the left and right eyes, and lying prone will affect the blood circulation of the elbows and brain, so if you have to choose a posture suitable for playing with your mobile phone in bed, it is recommended to lie flat and then hold your mobile phone in your hand.
Although it will be a little tiring for the arms, it is relatively friendly to the rest of the body.
Of course, in this posture, you should pay special attention to holding the phone tightly, and don’t let the phone slip and hit yourself!
2. Turn on the lights and play with your mobile phone
Under normal light conditions, the pupils will be narrowed when looking at things at close range, but at night, the surrounding light is weak, and the eyes will dilate the pupils to let in more light in order to see things at the same distance, so that the eyes are very easy to get tired.
So if you’re playing with your phone at night, it’s important to balance your surroundings with your phone’s screen.
Turning on the lights is the most direct solution, but if it is not convenient to turn on the lights, you can also directly adjust the phone to night mode, which can generally relieve eye fatigue and be more conducive to reading.
Or directly reduce the brightness of the mobile phone screen, increase the font, the main thing is to reduce the contrast between the mobile phone screen and the surrounding environment, and reduce the adverse impact on the eyes.
3. Control the time you spend playing with your phone
As mentioned above, the harmful aspects of playing with mobile phones before going to bed are discussed, so you must play mobile phones in moderation and take a proper rest in about half an hour.
The dangers of playing mobile phones before going to bed not only come from mobile phones, but also some of the reasons for staying up late, so we must not only control the time of playing mobile phones, but also control the time of playing mobile phones, and it is best not to touch mobile phones after 11 o’clock.
Write at the end:
Playing with your phone before going to bed is really a very harmful habit to your health.
If you want to break this habit, you also need to have a plan, go to bed before 11:00 every day, try not to bring your phone to bed, and be sure to ensure a good quality of sleep.
When the eyes feel tired, you can close your eyes or look far away to relieve it, if you find eye discomfort, you should go to the ophthalmologist in time, do not blindly use medicine.
