2. Leaves You Feeling Hung-over
As well as leaving you feeling tired, using your phone at bedtime can leave you feeling hung-over the next day without even touching a drop of alcohol.
This research comes from Michigan State University, and has found that people who use their smart phones before sleeping for work purposes wake up with a ‘tech’ hangover[2].
Russell Johnson, a professor who was part of the research team at MSU, said that smart phones are very disruptive to sleep as they keep our minds constantly stimulated which makes it more difficult to detach and harder for us to relax and fall asleep.
3. Damages Relationships
Having a few problems in your relationship? The reason could be due to heavy texting.
As researchers at Brigham Young University found that heavy texting was associated with relationship dissatisfaction among both men and women in the study[3].
The problem arose from the study participants using text messages as a way to make decisions, say sorry or settle an agreement which was associated with lower relationship quality for women and for men lower relationship quality was linked with over texting.
