With the development of technology and the popularity of smartphones, mobile phones have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. Many people have the habit of playing with their phones before going to bed, but did you know? Just 8 minutes of mobile phone use may excite your body for 1 hour and affect your sleep quality.
First, let's take a look at why mobile phones excite our bodies. The blue light emitted by mobile phone screens is a high-energy light that inhibits the ability of our bodies to produce melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that causes the body to feel sleepy, and blue light interferes with the secretion of melatonin, causing our body to be unable to relax and have difficulty falling asleep. In addition, social apps, news feeds and other functions in mobile phones will also constantly stimulate our brains and keep us in a state of excitement.
So, how to enjoy the convenience brought by mobile phones while avoiding its impact on our sleep? First of all, we need to control the time we spend using our phones. Especially before bedtime, try to avoid using your phone. If you do need to use your phone, you can choose to turn down the screen brightness and use night mode to reduce the irritation of blue light. At the same time, you can also try to set the phone to automatically turn off before bedtime to avoid overuse.
Secondly, we need to develop good sleep habits. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule and falling asleep and waking up at a fixed time every day can help adjust our body clock and improve sleep quality. In addition, doing relaxation activities before bedtime, such as listening**, taking a hot bath, etc., also helps to relax our body and make it easier to fall asleep.
Finally, we need to recognize the impact of mobile phones on our lives. Although mobile phones bring a lot of convenience, excessive use can also have a negative impact on our bodies. Therefore, we need to arrange the time of using our mobile phones reasonably and avoid making mobile phones the whole of our lives.
In conclusion, playing with mobile phones before going to bed may excite our body for 1 hour and affect the quality of sleep. We need to control the time we spend on our phones, develop good sleep habits, and recognize the impact of our phones on our lives. Only in this way can we maintain a healthy lifestyle while enjoying the convenience brought by mobile phones.
In addition to the methods mentioned above, there are other ways that can help us reduce the impact of our phones on sleep. First of all, we can try to turn off the mobile notification function. Many times, we are interrupted by the notification sound of our mobile phone before going to bed, which not only makes it difficult for us to fall asleep, but also affects the quality of our sleep. Therefore, turning off the notification function of the phone and putting ourselves in a quiet environment can help us fall asleep better.
Second, we can make use of mobile phone apps to help us relax and fall asleep. There are a lot of apps on the market that are dedicated to helping us sleep and help us relax and fall asleep more easily by being gentle and providing meditation guidance.
In addition, we can also reduce the impact of our phones on sleep through exercise. Proper exercise can help us burn off energy in our body and make us more susceptible to fatigue and sleepiness. Therefore, doing some simple exercises before bedtime, such as walking, yoga, etc., can help us fall asleep better.
Finally, we need to be vigilant at all times and avoid over-reliance on mobile phones. Although mobile phones bring a lot of convenience to our lives, over-reliance on mobile phones can also have a negative impact on our physical and mental health. Therefore, we need to be vigilant at all times, arrange the time of mobile phone use reasonably, and avoid making mobile phones the whole of our lives.
In conclusion, reducing the impact of mobile phones on sleep requires us to take a variety of measures. By controlling the amount of time we spend on our phones, practicing good sleep habits, turning off phone notifications, using phone apps, and exercising, we can better protect our health and sleep quality. At the same time, we also need to be vigilant at all times to avoid over-reliance on mobile phones to make our lives healthier, more balanced and better.
