3 Serious Reasons Why You Need to Stop Using Your Smartphone at Night
Smartphones are wonderful technologies in the modern era however, they’re signs of serious health issues. The blue light exposure may raise serious health risks, especially at night, as it can damage light-sensitive cells in the eye.
Overexposure to blue light could harm your eyes and may damage your vision. Additionally, it suppresses the production of melatonin, which is a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle.
Here are 3 serious reasons why you need to stop using your smartphone:
1. Sleep Loss
As we mentioned before, “blue light” interrupts melatonin production. Additionally, without a proper sleep cycle, you may experience a variety of health disorders including heart disease, depression, weight gain, and anxiety.
