Many
people now sleep with their phones in bed at night. This is an obvious
sign of phone addiction that they dream about their devices.
Unbelievable but true. This is not really good. So, before you get into
your bed tonight, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, urges
you to check out these reasons not to use your smartphone in bed at
night.
You will be unable to sleep
This
is the most obvious reason why you should never use your phone in bed.
You will never be able to sleep because of all the notifications that
are disrupting and disturbing your sleep. Of course, you know that
doctors recommend at least 8 hours of sleep daily. Your phone should be
on silent if you really want to get a smooth and uninterrupted nap.

You can be depressed
Persons
who use their phone more frequently are prone to moodiness and
depression. Also, since you are unable to get proper sleep just because
you cannot control your phone usage, you are simply making you
vulnerable to depression.

You are damaging your eyes
Exposure
to blue light at night, emitted by your phone can affect the eyes. And
today, there are many smartphones that emit this light. To prevent dry
eyes and blurred vision, allow your eyes to rest instead of surfing your
phone.

You may experience nomophobia
Imagine
waking up in the middle of the night and you are searching desperately
for your phone which is just right beside you. And because you cannot
find it, you begin to feel anxious and you become agitated. The only
time you recover is when you eventually find your phone. It’s better to
switch it off (if you want) and keep it as far away from you as
possible.

Reduce exposure to radiation
Smartphones
usually release a form of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation that
can be absorbed if it is too near your body. The risk is limited when
the phone is disconnected from either WiFi or turned off.

You pay more attention to your loved one
There
is no gainsaying that you will concentrate and listen more if you do
away with your phone in bed. So, make that decision to limit phone usage
in bed at night.
