This is why you should stop using cell phones at night
We use cellphone to stay in contact with family and friends, for work purposes, to check social media, play games, read articles basically for everything. They have even started replacing other objects like calculators, flashlights and cameras. It’s like they’re attached to our hands and we can no longer function correctly without them. We use them right after waking up and until moments before we go to sleep. But this constant exposure affects us and our health.
We hear about how they emit radiation and that we shouldn’t sleep with them near us or keep them in our pockets because the radiation could affect fertility, but that's not the only health concern.
Our cellphones, tablets, and laptops emit a blue light made up of blue wavelengths which can be great during they day because it’s been proven to increase our attention and improve our mood, but is actually harmful at night.
Here are a few problems you might be having that might be caused by using your cellphone at night.
Poor eye health can cause digital eyestrain. The symptoms are irritation and difficulties focussing on objects in front of you.
It can also cause damage to our retina cells, leading to macular degeneration.
It affects our sleep and our vision.
It has been proven that exposure to blue light at night can suppress the secretion of melatonin which is associated with sleep onset. Melatonin also helps protect our body from cancer, and a constant disruption of our sleep schedule could have very dangerous consequences.
