9 Ways Your Cell Phone Can Seriously Harm You!

 4) Sleeplessness

Cell phones have become such a major part of current culture that it is not unusual to check your phone before going to bed. However, this can have detrimental effects on your ability to fall asleep. When you use devices such as cell phones, you are being exposed to the blue light they project. This light reduces melatonin in the body, which will make you feel as though you should be awake, and thus make it harder to go to sleep. When this happens, you will likely not experience as sound a night of sleep as you would if you did not use your phone. The resulting sleepiness can build up over time, contributing to other health problems. Staying well rested is crucial to maintaining overall good health, as well as being able to focus on things in your day to day life. When you are consistently sleep-deprived, you may have less of an ability to focus, and you may not be able to react to dangers as quickly as necessary.
