5 mistakes users are making when using a smartphone

Smartphones have become popular and become an indispensable device for many people. However, smartphones also cause many bad effects, especially when users form many bad habits related to it.

1. Use too long before sleeping

Blue light from the phone screen has the ability to cause melatonin - the hormone causing drowsiness to be inhibited. This makes it harder to sleep. Blue light from the phone also causes headaches and some other visual problems when exposed long.

Therefore, you should not use the phone before sleeping for about 1, 2 hours or leave in night mode - the screen will yellow to reduce the level of impact, if forced to use.

Leaving a smartphone right next to the pillow is a habit for many, but this is not recommended. Basically, the phone emits radio waves because it is a device that transmits and receives electromagnetic signals. Currently, scientists are still arguing over whether or not the exposure to electromagnetic waves will cause any consequences. But some experts have warned that cell phone signal could negatively affect our brains and sleep cycles.

Ideally, you should keep the phone away from your sleeping place or in airplane mode.

3. Keep the phone in direct contact with skin

If exposed to the phone directly, your skin will absorb the heat and magnetic waves emitted by the phone.

Although it is not known whether this wave is harmful or not, to ensure safety, you should not keep your phone in your pocket. Keep the phone away from your body, in your bag, for example to reduce the amount of wave absorbed into your body.

4. Use your phone when the signal is weak

According to Dr. Devra Davis, when the signal is weak to ensure a stable connection, the phone will emit more electromagnetic waves. If this type of signal is proven to affect health, then using the phone when the signal is weak is definitely not recommended.

The long use of mobile phones with the wrong posture has led to many strange diseases such as skull spikes, text-thumb and especially text-neck syndrome.

The reason for the text messaging syndrome is that we bow our heads when looking at the phone for a long time. The lower the bow, the greater the pressure on the neck. After a long time, the spine will suffer many damages.
