Cell phone deduces sleep, here’s why!

The immoderate use of modern cell phones is crazily alarming because so many of us are in serious relationships with our phones. Hence, we take them everywhere we go, even to our beds.

Research shows that it is unsafe to keep your phone close to your bed while you sleep. Reasons are; there are possibilities it may blow up (if it is plugged to electricity) causing fire outbreak which could lead to death.  Because cell phones give off small doses of electromagnetic radiation which is emitted from X-rays and microwaves and can lead to tumor growth in high amount (causing damage to the brain). People are advised to keep cell phones far from their beds when they are about to sleep.

Just as no one wishes for such events to occur, it is very needful to be careful even with our gadgets. A lot of us are guilty of this. 

Sometimes I doze off while still logged in on social media and also, sometimes I leave my phone charging on my bed while I snooze, not minding if the phone cord could be frayed. I became conscious of the outcome of such habit and started working on it.

Often times people have experienced fire outbreak through their phones exploding; more reason you should never sleep next to your phone or even put it under your pillow. 

In every phone manual it is boldly written on the instruction menu that ‘keeping phone under pillows is unsafe’ because phones with Led screens give off blue light; a type that inhibits the production of sleep inducing hormone- melatonin; in this case our phones contribute to our inability to fall asleep or have sound sleep at night. These days people don’t sleep on time because of their phones and they aren’t aware that the insomnia they’re passing through could be as a result of them clinging to their phones at all times.

According to a new study, using your phone during your bedtime can lead to unending headaches, sleep disorders, shortness of temper, anxiety and even depression, shocking right?  At some point we’ve all been attached to our cell phones because they’re the last thing we see before going to bed and first thing we see when we wake up. Most people are guilty of this but can kick this unhealthy habit away.

Here are a few solutions:

• Give yourself a break from pressing your phone.

• Turn off the blue light or reduce the brightness of your phone to save you from straining your eyes.

• When about to sleep, turn off your phone or put your phone on flight mode but if you’re concerned about emergency calls coming in late at night, cultivate the habit of putting your phone on ‘Power saver’ mode.

• Keep your phone far from your bed before you doze off.

• Never leave your phone charging on your bed while you sleep.

• Never keep your phone under your pillow.

• Try to sleep when it’s your bedtime. 

Charging your phone with you in bed while you sleep is really a major safety concern and should be taken seriously. The earlier you go to bed, the more your body will feel rejuvenated the next day. Sometimes our phones are the reason we don’t get the adequate rest we desire and we end up having body-aches and falling ill every now and then.
