Recently, a survey of 1,532 young people surveyed showed that 84.8% of the surveyed young people have the habit of brushing their mobile phones before going to bed, and only 12.5% will control it within 20 minutes. Even if they feel sleepy, 84.1% of the young people surveyed will continue to use their mobile phones. 69.5% of the surveyed youth bluntly stated that brushing their mobile phones before going to bed would increase the difficulty of falling asleep.
Nowadays, brushing the phone before going to bed has become a fixed habit of many young people, and this habit is quietly endangering personal health. Brushing the phone for a long time before going to bed may not only cause damage to the eyes, but also continuously excite the brain and break the sleep atmosphere, which is easy to cause sleep problems such as difficulty falling asleep and delay in falling asleep. Judging from the relevant survey data, the current problem of young people brushing their mobile phones before going to bed is quite serious, and it is worrisome.
In fact, many young people are not completely aware of the dangers of brushing their mobile phones before going to bed. But as many netizens said, “I understand the truth, but I will still knowingly commit crimes.” There are many reasons why netizens “knowingly commit crimes”, but the bottom line is that people are increasingly dependent on mobile phones. In modern society, mobile phones are almost inseparable from work, study, social interaction and entertainment, especially before bedtime. For many young people, they are busy with work and study during the day, and only the time before going to bed is completely theirs. Therefore, in the absence of other ways to relax and decompress, brushing the phone has become the best choice.
Because of this, many young people who are accustomed to swiping their mobile phones before going to bed are still reluctant to put down their mobile phones to fall asleep even if they feel sleepy, and even continue to swipe their mobile phones until they are sleepy to tears. This also makes health problems such as vision loss and lack of sleep continue to intensify among young people, to the point where they cannot be ignored.
It is true that people’s dependence on mobile phones cannot be lifted overnight, and the habit of procrastinating before going to bed cannot be corrected in a few words. But I have to say that for their own health, young people who are accustomed to brushing their mobile phones for a long time before going to bed must make up their minds and try their best to seek change. This is a responsibility to themselves and their families.
The key to reducing the time you spend on your phone before going to bed is to cultivate good living habits. For example, set a reasonable time for yourself to fall asleep, and gradually develop a regular biological clock through long-term persistence. Another example is to find other ways to relax and entertain, to enrich your free time, and to divert your attention from your phone. At the same time, to avoid the harm to the body caused by swiping the mobile phone before going to bed, it is also necessary to correct the unhealthy way of looking at the mobile phone, avoid turning off the lights and playing with the mobile phone, and not lying flat or lying on the side to look at the mobile phone.
In addition, mobile phone manufacturers and app operators should also take responsibility. It’s not that many people don’t know the dangers of brushing their mobile phones for a long time, and they want to get rid of their dependence on mobile phones, but they can’t control themselves. In this regard, the mobile phone and the App can remind the user accordingly, give a strong interruption warning, etc., based on the user’s single use time or cumulative use time, and guide the user to put down the mobile phone and rest. At present, some apps have launched such functions. Judging from user feedback, it does have a certain effect. But this is far from enough, and more mobile phone manufacturers and app operators are still required to participate.
Freezing three feet is not a day’s cold. Today, when the impact of mobile phones on life is more and more extensive and profound, it is indeed not easy to “put down the mobile phone”. But you can work hard to reduce the time you spend on your phone before going to bed and develop a healthy way of looking at your phone. The mobile phone is just a tool, we should learn to control the mobile phone and not be “trapped” by the mobile phone.
