[Problems with Smartphone Addiction]
1. Degradation of learning and cognitive ability
Excessive smartphone use can negatively affect learning ability due to loss of attention, and focus only on information consumption, which can hinder creative problem solving and active learning.
2. insomnia and sleep disorders
Blue light from smartphones inhibits melatonin production, disrupting sleep patterns and causing insomnia and sleep disorders.
3. an eye health problem
Staring at the screen for a long time can lead to poor vision, along with symptoms such as eye fatigue/dryness/blurred vision.
4. postural and health problems
Long-term tilted posture can cause pain in the neck/back/wrist, and problems such as turtle neck/back pain can occur.
5. Communication impairment and social isolation
If communication through smartphones replaces actual face-to-face communication, communication skills and emotion recognition skills may deteriorate. As a result, social interaction and interpersonal relationships may be difficult.
[How to Prevent and Overcome Addiction]
To prevent and overcome smartphone addiction
1. It's a good idea to set the usage time for your smartphone.
This is a method that parents with young children use a lot. It is to set the time and amount of time and use of smartphones. Recently, many apps have been released that make smartphones "impossible" to use at all for several hours. If you physically keep your smartphone away and increase your time, you will be able to enjoy your daily life without getting anxious even if you don't have a smartphone.
2. Manage App Usage
It is recommended to identify time-consuming apps among smartphone apps and reduce or delete their use.
3. Mobile Phone Distancing
It can be helpful to keep your smartphone as far away as possible for self-control, especially during times when you have activities to focus on.
4. Smartphone usage time history
Recording your daily or weekly smartphone usage time to identify your usage patterns and see what time you use it the most can also help you adjust.
5. Making different stimuli.
Smartphones give a variety of stimuli without stopping. So once you fall into a smartphone, it is difficult to get out of it easily. Therefore, it is necessary to move away from the smartphone by giving it different stimuli. You will be able to get out of your smartphone addiction somewhat by having time to talk with your family without a smartphone, or by increasing your time through physical activities/movies/performance.
6. the help of a professional
It is recommended to seek professional assistance if smartphone use leads to a serious addiction. Another good way is to objectively recognize your addiction with the help of a professional, such as psychological counseling, and to have a counseling process to get out of the addiction. There may also be other psychological causes, so unless the cause is resolved, it will be difficult to escape from smartphone addiction.
It is also a good idea to seek help from colleagues or family members for self-management of smartphone usage. Together, they can recognize problems with smartphone addiction, exchange help with each other, and control their use.
