Using the phone before bed can lead to serious health problems

Doctor Ana Perez Ballesta warned about the serious health risks associated with the habit of using a smartphone before bed. According to the expert, evening scrolling of the tape can lead to severe psychological and physical consequences, reports the publication El Confidencial.

As the doctor explained, between 22:00 and midnight, the level of cortisol in the body reaches a minimum. Because of this, vigilance and self-control are reduced, and the brain goes into a vulnerable phase of rest, which is why the planned few minutes in the phone are imperceptibly stretched into a clock.

Endless scrolling of content does not give the brain a signal to end the day, which, if repeated regularly, significantly impairs sleep quality. In addition, this habit violates the emotional background and over time can provoke the development of anxiety and depression.

To avoid the negative impact of gadgets, the expert advises not to fight the algorithms of social networks with the help of willpower. Instead, Ana Perez Ballesta recommends a simple and effective rule: don’t take your smartphone into your bedroom at all.

The woman lost speech and fell into a coma after consuming the popular dietary supplement.

The doctor gave advice on improving the quality of sleep.
