Moreover, when lying down and watching the mobile phone, the distance between the eyes and the screen of the mobile phone will be shortened. After a long time, the ciliary muscles of the eyes may be tired because they have not been rested, resulting in an increase in the curvature of the lens and a rapid decline in vision.
When lying down and looking at a mobile phone with damaged skin, the distance between the mobile phone and the face is relatively close, and the radiation of the mobile phone is relatively large, which will have a certain impact on the skin and may cause skin problems such as acne, edema and spots.
Cervical reverse arch is generally a physiological curvature of cervical spine. If there is no physiological bending, or even bending in the opposite direction, it is called "anti-bow" However, stretching the cervical spine for a long time, such as lying down and playing with mobile phones, watching TV or surfing the Internet with high back, may cause its curve to become smaller, straighter and even reverse.
Arm numbness often plays with mobile phones, sends text messages or types, which can easily lead to discomfort such as long-term pain, numbness or swelling of fingers.

After a long time, it will be in a state of chronic congestion, which is easy to compress the vertebral artery and cause cervical spondylosis, resulting in chronic strain.
Affect sleep Most people lie in bed and play with their mobile phones before going to bed. In the process of brushing Weibo, friends circle and playing games, people usually forget the time, so that the body is always in a state of excitement, which leads to the reduction of sleep time and affects the biological clock and sleep quality.

Conjunctivitis is caused by lying down and playing with a mobile phone. The body is comfortable, but the eyes are more tired than when sitting or standing.
There is a saying that lying down and playing with a mobile phone will affect normal intraocular pressure. Whether you lie on your side or on your back, it has little effect on intraocular pressure, but playing mobile phone in bed, whether you lie down or lie down, will pose a threat to the conjunctiva of your eyes. Because maintaining these postures for a long time, it is easy to make blood flow to the eyes, leading to mild congestion of conjunctival blood vessels in the eyes, mild nipple hyperplasia and follicular formation in the eyelid conjunctiva. At first, the skin around the corner of the eye may be red, moist and scabbed. If we don't pay attention to it, it will induce chronic inflammatory lesions of conjunctival tissue and cause chronic conjunctivitis.
Dry eye syndrome is induced because it is more comfortable to lie down. Therefore, reading books online with a mobile phone before going to bed consumes energy unconsciously until after midnight. Staring unblinkingly at a small mobile phone screen for several hours will make your eyes dry. Don't think it's because you are sleepy. In fact, this is an obstacle to your eye muscle function. If you don't get rid of the habit of lying down and playing with your mobile phone in time, you will suffer from dry eye.
Using eyes for a long time is easy to cause visual fatigue. When staring at the mobile phone screen, the changing light and shadow on the screen will cause continuous irritation to the eyes.

This is what we often call dry eye.
How to reduce the harm of lying down and playing with your mobile phone The best way to avoid lying down and playing with your mobile phone is not to look at it, but if you must look at your mobile phone while lying down, I suggest that you can use the following small methods to help reduce the harm:
The screen of the mobile phone is tilted down by 45. When playing mobile phone, don't point the screen of mobile phone at your eyes. It's best to lean down about 45, and don't lean up, or your neck will ache if you exert yourself for a long time. It is recommended to keep a distance of 30-50 cm between your eyes and your mobile phone.
Looking at the mobile phone without lying on your side is the greatest pressure on your eyes, but the cervical spine may bend abnormally when lying on your side, which is not only bad for your eyes, but also harmful to your cervical spine for a long time. Therefore, don't look at the mobile phone while lying on your side, it is best to play with your mobile phone on your back, and it is best to tilt it down by about 45 degrees. Don't lean up, so your neck will be stressed and it will hurt if you stretch it for a long time.
Don't lean your head on your arm. Some people like to play with one hand on their head, which will easily lead to poor blood circulation in the elbow and brain, and this posture is also tiring, so don't put your head on your arm.
Play mobile phone for no more than 1 hour. If you must lie down and watch your mobile phone, this time must not exceed 1 hour. The longer the time, the greater the harm to the body.
Tips:
If you can watch your mobile phone without lying down, try not to lie down. Playing with your mobile phone is harmful to your health. You should minimize the number of times you play with your mobile phone and don't become dependent on it.
