Could phone addiction be the disease of the century? In any case, it is certain that we spend a lot of time on our smartphone, whether it is to work, read the news, watch a series, scroll through Instagram or Facebook, play... Here are 3 good reasons to put down your phone.
Behind the apparent freedom offered by the possibility of consulting our professional emails on our telephone (no longer need to stay in the office until late at night, we can answer this super important message from our sofa), it is actually turns out that we work a lot more. A study conducted by Pixmania in England estimates that the smartphone can make us work up to two hours more… per day! Yes, we work in transport, in front of the TV and during the weekend. The right to disconnect is more necessary than ever.
The Internet overwhelms us with information and images, so we would be tempted to think that hyperconnection boosts our creativity. It is not so. Being constantly "fed" makes it hard to come up with an original idea, whether at work or in our personal lives. Research conducted at Harvard has also highlighted the fact that, if the Internet is perfect for research, when you want to have a good idea, it is better to bet on a walk or a bath.
Checking your Instagram news feed, replying to a text message or an email… Our laptop often accompanies us to bed and remains in our hands until bedtime. The problem ? The blue light it diffuses reduces the level of melatonin, the sleep hormone, by 22%. It's good if you intend to party, less if you want to fall asleep quickly...
Why don't we disconnect a bit?
