iPhones, tablets, and screens are part of daily life ā but overuse can quietly sabotage your well-being. Hereās what you need to know:
šµāš«Ā 1. Digital Eye Strain: Staring at screens for hours causes blurred vision, dry eyes, and headaches. It's called Computer Vision SyndromeĀ ā and itās more common than you think.
šĀ 2. Poor Posture = Tech Neck: Hunching over your phone strains your neck and spine, leading to chronic pain and stiffness. It can even affect your breathing and mood.
š§ Ā 3. Sleep Disruption: The blue light from screens messes with your melatonin ā the hormone that regulates sleep. Late-night scrolling = restless nights and tired mornings.
š§āāļøĀ 4. Reduced Physical Activity: More screen time = more sitting. That sedentary lifestyle increases risks of obesity, diabetes, and heart issues over time.
š¬Ā 5. Mental Health Impact: Constant notifications, social media pressure, and comparison culture can fuel anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem ā especially in teens.
šµĀ Quick Fixes You Can Start Today:
Use the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 mins, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds
Avoid screens 1 hour before bed
Sit upright ā shoulders back, screen at eye level
Take movement breaks every hour
Limit screen time with digital well-being tools
Your phone is smart ā but youĀ should be smarter. Use it, donāt let it use you. š
