With many organizations
dependent on the World Wide Web for their day to day transactions, many workers
now spend more hours in front of computer screens. Hence, this addiction has condemned
their eyes to constant blinking and other associate problems.
If you are one of those
who spend hours in front of screen without taking breaks, these are some
negative effects as shared by Jumia travel.
Eye
problems
This is the most obvious
effect of too much screen time. You feel pain and irritation in your eyes. And
if these continue for months, it affects your vision in the future. Ensure that
you always blink your eyes to give it a distraction from the screen.
Sleep
deprivation
As earlier said, when some
people are not staring at their computer screens, they may be staring at their
phones. After your 9 am to 5 pm spent at the office, combined with the long
hour in traffic, some refuse to eat and going straight to bed, instead, they
spend hours surfing their phones. The truth is that your body needs rest and
the best way is to get quality sleep.
Loss
of social skills
Many of us have lost our
social and interactive skills because of too much screen time. We spend time on
our phones chatting with friends and family. Thus, we don’t bother to visit
anyone anymore since we have our phones which have made communication easier.
Neck
discomfort
Due to the long period,
you spend especially on your phone, you may begin to feel discomfort in your
neck and spine. This pain may be temporary, it may become a regular occurrence
if you don’t give yourself a break from your phone, or computer. Always, be
mindful of this.
You
are likely to procrastinate
With spending too much
time on your computer or phone, you find out that you keep postponing the
important things you are meant to do. You are either watching a movie on your
computer or checking your different social media accounts while you have so
many things to do.
