I can't live without you Even 10 years ago, people used to say only this to the person they love. But now, people say more to their phone than to the man they love. People are now seen to be anxious at the speed of a cyclone as soon as the phone is lost. Recent studies have shown that people with nomophobia feel lonely without their phones. They got involved in an unhealthy relationship with the phone. As a result, they are real people the company was denied.
Let's take a look at the harmful effects of nomophobia or the fear of losing the phone and ways to deal with it.
If you suffer from nomophobia ...
1. Wake up every two hours at night to check your phone. 2. Even if you check the phone during lunch or dinner. 3. Panic occurs when the phone's battery runs out of charge and can't calm down until recharged. 4. If there is no signal on the phone, you feel that your life is useless. 5. No matter how busy you are, the phone call is actually for you to receive it. You even take the phone to the washroom. You have also checked your phone at least twice while reading this article.
It is destructive because ... 1. This creates anxiety. People with this disease suffer from anxiety when they are away from the phone. Which causes high blood pressure. In addition, it also loses attention. As a result, productivity in the workplace also decreases.
2. Wastes time. Recent studies have shown that multitasking or doing multiple tasks at the same time is harmful. Because information cannot be stored and processed in this way. Constantly checking the phone is a waste of time.
3. Disrupts sleep. The blue light emitted from the phone signals to the brain that it is time to wake up. Which suppresses the sleep hormone melatonin.
4. People with nomophobia also suffer from skin problems. Constant phone contact can cause acne, allergies and dark spots.
5. It also damages relationships with family and friends. Checking the phone while talking to friends or family is considered cruel behavior. Doing the same thing at work can make you feel indifferent.
What is the way to get rid of this ...
1. Turn off the phone before bed and sleep non-stop. 2. Minimize the notification receipt. Constant notifications from various apps will actually disturb your attention. 3. Turn off unnecessary apps. Because they also interfere with attention. 4. Wear a watch instead of checking the time on the phone. 5. Create your own phone-free zone. And take phone breaks at work. Spend more time with family and friends than with the phone. And limit your use when you are with the phone.
According to experts, people who suffer from nomophobia forget how to make face-to-face contact with a person.
