A cool infographic by Online Psychology Degree shows the extent to which smartphones have basically become a new bodily appendage:
-
90% of 18-29 year olds sleep with their smartphones
-
1 in 3 people would rather give up sex than their phone
-
95% of people use the phone for something just before going to bed
-
Half of people check their phones immediately if they wake up during the night
Unfortunately, our bodies haven't quite adapted to the change yet:
-
63% of people aren't getting enough sleep
-
Too much screen time reduces melatonin, the chemical that makes you sleep
-
Not sleeping makes you stressed and depressed
-
Sleeping fewer than 6 hours a night raises your heart attack risk by 50%
