This need to always have the phone nearby, It makes us want to be glued to him, And when we get up, the vast majority of people (who sleep attached to this device) The first thing they do is take it and review their notifications or look at their social networks.
But this is a mistake that It can affect your health, both physical and mental, And it is that taking the mobile as soon as possible can be but that very harmful to you.
Effects on your mental health
Among the most negative aspects that the phone has as soon as we get up we find:
- Increase in stress and anxiety: Expose immediately to news, emails of work or social networks can activate your stress response.
- Information overload: Your brain needs time and bombarding it with just information when you wake up can make this natural process difficult.
- Negative impact on mood: If the first thing you see are negative news, conflicts in social networks or comparisons with the lives of others, your mood is more likely to be negatively affected from the beginning of the day. This can generate feelings of frustration, envy or sadness.
- Alteration of brain waves: When awakening, your brain is found in a state of Theta waves, associated with relaxation and creativity. Taking the mobile can immediately take it to a state of beta waves, related to focused attention, which, if it occurs too soon, can generate a feeling of dispersion and stress.
- Fear of missing something (Fomo): The need to review notifications and be aware of everything can be driven by the fear of missing something important, which generates anxiety and the compulsive need to review the mobile.
Effects on your physical health
But it can also affect your physical health with aspects such as:
- Sleep cycle alteration: The blue light emitted by the screens of the devices suppresses the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates the sleep.
- Visual fatigue: After hours of darkness during sleep, your eyes need time to adjust to light. Exposing them immediately to the intense brightness of a screen can cause dryness, irritation and discomfort that can persist during the day. In the long term, this can contribute to chronic digital visual fatigue.
- Possible increase in cortisol levels: Although cortisol levels are usually higher in the morning as part of the natural process of awakening, exposing themselves to stressful content in the mobile can raise them even more, which is associated with anxiety and irritability.
