Can you imagine a day without a smartphone? Without thinking for a second i can say no for this question. The smartphone has become such an integral part of ones life. Smartphones has replaced many things in our technology driven life from Television to Alarm clock and many more. But Tech experts say that we might be making lot of mistakes and exposing to too much of radiation. So here are five such common mistakes majority of of smartphone users are doing according to the experts and we should avoid do so.
1. Sleeping with your Mobile – It is very common for every to check phone before going to bed and as soon as you wakeup. A smartphone phone is nothing but a electromagnetic transmitter and receiver. That means it emits radio waves. Although it’s not been proven yet, research continues to show how the radio waves may affect human brain after being exposed for over a period of time. It can wake you up with notifications during your sleep cycle, to say the least. If it’s impossible for you to turn it off completely or keep it in another room while you’re asleep, try keeping it on airplane mode.
2. Blue Light : The second important mistake is being exposed to blue light for too long. The light from your screen suppresses melatonin, the hormone that regulates your sleep cycle which is another reason you shouldn’t be near it while you sleep. Blue light also causes headaches and eye and sight problems. It is is advisable that try resetting the light levels on your phone and turning on the blue light filter.
3. Weak Signal : Using it with a low signal is another important factor. When you see a weak signal on your phone, it actually means your phone is putting out a stronger signal as a transmitter, and more energy from your cell phone means more harm to your health.
4. Contact with Skin : It is not recommended to keep smartphone in contact with your skin. Different studies that focus on the link between cell phones and cancer, specifically their transmission signal that’s around 900 MHz, which makes your phone get hot. Human skin absorbs the heat easily in tiny bits every time you keep it in contact with your skin or close to your body. Although there are no other proven effects of radiofrequency radiation on the human body, we know for a fact that the absorption ratio decreases dramatically when you keep some distance between you and your smartphone.
5. Body Posture : Using Smartphone might cause a very bad body posture. It’s a known fact that using mobile phones causes thumb injuries like tenosynovitis. There is another cell phone health condition called “text neck.” As the name suggests, when you bend your neck forward to look at the screen, the stress on your cervical spine increases gradually. Thus it is recommended to monitor your body posture too.
Yes Smartphones are very important in today’s generation but it taking precautionary measures is always a good idea so that it wont effect much and will not have too much negative impact. So from now on switch off your phones in the night and during the day time when you make your calls try to use speaker or ear phones.
