Others like to lie in bed and play with their mobile phones after turning off the lights. When the light is weak, people will enlarge the pupil in order to see the object clearly, which will hinder the outflow of aqueous humor, increase intraocular pressure, affect vision and even lead to glaucoma. In addition, watching mobile phones too much and using your eyes too much may also lead to blindness.
In fact, lying down for a long time may bring more health hazards than expected.
1. What effect does lying down and playing with your mobile phone have on your health?
1, cervical spondylosis
Looking at the mobile phone while lying in bed, in the state of "excessive drooping of the neck, unnatural bending of the body, and the neck leaning forward more and more", the neck muscles will be stretched forward continuously, so that the muscle strength of the back of the neck will not be relaxed, and it will be stiff and tense for a long time, which is prone to cervical fatigue, neck stiffness, shoulder pain and other symptoms. And it will also make the back strength unbalanced. In the long run, it will also cause cervical spondylosis.
2, affecting sleep
The light of mobile phone will inhibit the secretion of melatonin. Studies have found that when you watch your mobile phone for two hours before going to bed, the level of melatonin secretion will drop by 22%, which will lead to sleep problems such as difficulty in falling asleep and frequent waking up.
Poor sleep for a long time will make the brain unable to remove some metabolites and toxins in time and induce inflammation, which will increase the risk of dementia in the long run.
3, lead to endocrine disorders
If you lie in bed for a long time and play with your mobile phone and stay up late at night, it will disrupt the running rhythm of your body, all organs of your body will not get a normal rest, and your endocrine system may be disordered and out of balance.
4, affect the lumbar spine
When lying down and playing with a mobile phone, the lumbar spine will be in an unnatural position. Keeping this posture for a long time will increase the burden on the lumbar spine and cause problems such as low back pain and waist discomfort. In addition, keeping a posture for a long time may cause the lumbar spine to rest for a long time, and the blood circulation is not smooth, which increases the risk of lumbar diseases.
So try to avoid lying down and playing with your mobile phone for a long time. You can choose to use your mobile phone while sitting or standing, which can reduce the pressure on the cervical and lumbar vertebrae.
Second, developing good eye habits is an important means to protect eyesight.
1, "20-20-20" eye protection rule
After reading, writing and using electronic products for 20 minutes, looking up at a distance of 20 feet (6 meters away) for at least 20 seconds is helpful to relax the ciliary muscles.
2, reading posture, light layout.
Bad reading posture, too close distance, unreasonable indoor lighting position or brightness will increase the burden on children's eyes. The desk lamp should be placed opposite the writer and the main lighting in the room should be turned on at the same time.
3. Don't take too long.
The longer you play with your mobile phone, the more likely it is to excite your brain. It is recommended that you set the alarm clock for 15 minutes or half an hour before going to bed at night. Turn off the lights and sleep, and don't make excuses to use your mobile phone.
