Ishan Sharma is 25 years old. Like many people, he also likes to play with smartphones. As a young man, he likes to watch short videos the most. Every time he watches a video, he will smile from ear to ear. Of course, he sometimes uses his smartphone to play games, such as King of Kings and Chicken, so that he can kill boring time during his break. It can be said that smartphones occupy most of his life. Apart from work, he spends the rest of his time playing with his smartphone. Therefore, before going to bed at night, he also likes to play with his smartphone and often does not go to bed until two or three o’clock.
Ishan Sharma can no longer live without his smartphone. If he were not afraid of being discovered and criticized by his boss, he would even spend his working time playing with his smartphone. For Ishan Sharma, playing with smartphones can bring him unlimited happiness, and only in the world of smartphones can he feel free and carefree.
But recently, Ishan Sharma suddenly found that he couldn’t sleep after playing on his smartphone at night and became very anxious, so he hurried to the hospital for a physical check-up. After the doctor checked, he told Ishan Sharma: If you are used to playing with your smartphone before going to bed, it won’t take long for you to develop these five “problems.”

You will suffer from these 5 problems
Ishan Sharma used to think that playing with smartphones was a normal thing. After all, everyone loves to play with smartphones in life, and almost everyone has their smartphones with them 24 hours a day. He never thought that playing with his smartphone would bring him trouble.
Therefore, when the doctor said that his symptoms were all caused by playing with smartphones, Ishan Sharma felt a little unbelievable, so he couldn’t wait to know what five harms playing with smartphones before going to bed would bring to people.
The first one is vision loss
Because when people play with smartphones at night, the light will be relatively dim. It is not as good as having sunlight during the day. Although there is light at night, it will still hurt the eyes. In particular, many people like to turn off the lights and play with their smartphones. Such behavior will cause more harm to eye health, and their eyesight will become worse and worse over time.
Ishan Sharma understood it as soon as he heard it: So that’s it. I just said that I was playing with my smartphone at night recently, and when I woke up the next day, my vision became blurry.
Affects sleep quality
We all know that the human body has a biological clock. When it is time to go to bed at night, you must go to bed on time so as not to disrupt this biological clock. However, once you often play with your smartphone at night, the biological clock will naturally be completely messed up. If things go on like this, you will suffer from insomnia and poor sleep.
For example, if you were playing with your smartphone at night recently and felt tossing and turning after falling asleep in the middle of the night, it is because playing with your smartphone before going to bed for a long time has disrupted your biological clock. Ishan Sharma suddenly realized: Doctor, if you didn’t tell me, I really didn’t know that it was caused by playing with smartphones before going to bed. Doctor, what is the third “problem”?
Health problems
First of all, mental health problems will arise. Because there is too much information on the Internet, people will have some uneasy emotions. For example, when they see others living a happy life but themselves are miserable, they will feel envious, jealous, and hateful.
If you watch a lot of negative news, people will also have some negative emotions, such as pessimism and world-weariness. This is especially true for teenagers. They lack social experience and have weak psychological endurance. They often watch this negative news and will suffer from mental diseases such as depression over time. This is why the country now sets up a youth mode at night to prevent teenagers from being overly addicted to the Internet.
In addition to the impact on mental health, physical problems can also occur. You must know that frequently playing with smartphones before going to bed may lead to insomnia. This will affect the rest of various organs in the body, which may lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, liver disease, kidney disease, and many other diseases. Ishan Sharma sighed: I have learned a lot today. I never thought that I could get sick just by playing with my smartphone before going to bed. This is really scary!
People’s skin becomes worse and worse
You must know that smartphones produce radiation. If a person plays with their smartphone for a long time at night, these radiations will affect the person’s facial skin, causing the person’s pores to increase and the skin will naturally become rough.
Playing with smartphones before going to bed can easily cause insomnia, which will darken the skin, and acne and some acne may appear the next day. Therefore, people who play on their smartphones until midnight before going to bed will generally have poor skin. Many women who love beauty insist on sleeping in beauty sleep, usually before noon, because they know that staying up late will affect the quality of their skin.
Ishan Sharma exclaimed: No wonder, I just said that I often get acne on my face the next day after playing with my smartphone at night, and it turns out to be related to playing with my smartphone. What was the doctor’s last problem?
Injury to the cervical spine
When people lie in bed and play with their smartphones at night, they generally like to keep the same posture. Leaning against the bedside and looking at their smartphones for a long time will overwhelm the muscles and joints of the cervical spine and eventually lead to cervical spine pain.
Frequently lowering your head to play with smartphones will cause the cervical spine to tilt forward too much, which is often called “smartphone neck”. When a person’s cervical spine is injured, cervical spondylosis will soon strike.
Everyone knows that cervical spondylosis is a very painful disease, and it is also very troublesome to treat and may be difficult to cure for a while. Therefore, for our own health, we should play less smartphones, especially not before going to bed at night.
After hearing this, Ishan Sharma said: I really feel uncomfortable in my cervical spine recently. Doctor, please help me.
The doctor checked Ishan Sharma’s cervical vertebrae and said: Fortunately, smartphone neck has not developed. It’s not too late to get rid of the habit of playing with smartphones at night.
Ishan Sharma nodded repeatedly: Since playing with smartphones before going to bed has so much harm, I must play less with smartphones in the future.
After returning home, Ishan Sharma tried not to touch his smartphone before going to bed every day. After a period of adjustment, his sleep quality became better and better, and his body became healthier.

Of course, except at night, we should actually use our smartphones as little as possible during the day. After all, holding our smartphones all day long is not good for our health.
However the problem is that many people have developed the habit of playing with their smartphones anytime and anywhere. It is not that easy to get rid of this bad habit. So what should we do? In fact, you can get what you want by using these few tricks.
Do more exercise

However, you can’t just exercise once in a while and you must persist for a long time. As time goes by, you will find that you have fallen in love with exercise and start to dislike your smartphone.
And don’t forget that exercise can bring health to people. After all, during exercise, the body’s calories will be consumed, fat will become less and less, and symptoms such as overweight and obesity will not come close to you. In this way, three Many diseases such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will also have no interest in you.
As for the ways of exercise, you can choose freely. If you are a young person, almost any exercise is suitable. For middle-aged and elderly people, it is safer to do less strenuous exercise.
Read books often
Regular reading can also achieve the goal of playing less smartphones. After all, people’s attention will be focused on the books when reading . Imagine that when you are reading with gusto, why would you want to play with your smartphone again?
Moreover, reading books can also increase people’s knowledge and let them learn a lot of knowledge. As time goes by, they will become a wise person. Therefore, everyone must read more books at ordinary times. A lot of knowledge in books is more powerful than those short videos and games on smartphones that are not nutritious.
Control time
If you have developed a habit of playing with your smartphone less, you cannot quit this addiction all at once, but you need to do it step by step and slowly. We can start by controlling the time we spend playing on smartphones, that is, playing with smartphones for one or two hours less every day . During this time, we can do other things, such as doing housework, walking in the park, etc.
Gradually, you will become less and less interested in playing with your smartphone, and then you will be able to really get what you want. Spend more time with relatives and friends. Spending more time with friends and family around you can also help people spend less time on their phones, which is not difficult to do at all.
In the past, when there were no smartphones, people liked to get together frequently to chat and communicate, which greatly enhanced their relationships. However, nowadays everyone is accompanied by smartphones. smartphones are with everyone every day. Communication between people is getting less and less, and relationships are becoming more and more distant.
There is no doubt that smartphones have become people’s most important life partners. Even the closest people, whether they are husbands and wives or parents and children, have become more and more unfamiliar. This has to be said to be sad. I never dreamed that a cold machine like a smartphone would one day replace the people closest to me.
It’s time for us to put down our smartphones and get along well with family and friends more often. We should not continue to let our smartphones dominate our lives. Stay away from smartphones to stay healthy. Smartphones have indeed brought us a lot of conveniences, but we cannot be overly addicted to them, otherwise, they will be harmful. It is meaningless for everyone to hide in the world of smartphones all day long and may even attract various diseases. In this case, we should stay away from smartphones. Only in this way can we truly get healthy.
Everyone must understand that smartphones are just a high-tech product and cannot replace all aspects of our lives.
