Mobile Phones Adding to Sleep Woes
Gadgets and technology have had their share of the limelight but apparently the kids are losing the proper self-discipline in carrying out their lives due to their fascination for these things today. A lot of it is because their attention is to maximize the use of gadgets such as mobile phones or even the usual gaming consoles and that has become a cause to forget about the value of proper rest and sleep.
We see most kids and teenagers staying up late because of these. For mobile phones, they either spend most of their time calling or sending text messages. There are no time intervals but surely we all know that this goes on as far as the wee hours of the morning.
Hence the product is giving up sleep and adding strain to their lives for normal living.
TEENAGERS who use their mobile phones excessively are more prone to disrupted sleep, stress, fatigue and restlessness, according to international research.
Sleep-deprived teens have poorer school marks, are less motivated and have poor emotional health, including a higher risk of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a further study found.
