To diagnose Internet addiction, it is worth resorting to the help of special tests.
However, it is possible to determine the disease without any special diagnostic tools – this is evidenced by the following facts.
1. In the morning, before you go about your daily business, you check all the notifications on your mobile phone, even if they don’t require urgent attention.
2. You often post updates on social media and feel regret when you fail to share some event from your life with your followers.
3. You don’t have a specific daily routine or hobbies that would occupy you in your free time.
4. If your mobile signal disappears, you start to worry and constantly check for it, fearing that you will miss an important message.
5. When you put your phone away and try to do other things, you find that you have a hard time finding anything to do.
If you are familiar with at least one of these points firsthand, we can already talk about a certain type of addiction.
Earlier we listed the reasons why we often wake up in the middle of the night.
