Many modern people find it difficult to tear themselves away from their smartphones.

Such users “sit” in the gadget at the first opportunity, spending time on Internet surfing, online communication and mobile games.

But every person should understand the following: there is one hour a day when you cannot use your phone, as it is dangerous to your health.

We're talking about 60 minutes before bedtime.

Therefore, try to follow this simple rule: always put your smartphone away an hour before you plan to go to bed at night.

Why You Shouldn't Use Your Smartphone Before Bed

The habit of sitting on your mobile phone late at night can lead to poor health and sleep problems.

Such possible negative effects are explained by the presence of the blue component of the spectrum in the light emitted by the gadget screen.

Blue color disrupts the synthesis of melatonin, the sleep hormone.

However, if you activate the “blue filter” (or Night Shift, if we are talking about the iPhone), the consequences will not be so serious.

However, you need to understand the following: activating the above function does not solve the problem completely. In other words, try not to use your mobile phone before going to bed, if, of course, such an opportunity exists.
