Do you have the habit of turning off your mobile phone?

Some people say: Don’t turn off your phone before going to bed

Radiation can affect your health

Some people also say: Turn off your phone before going to bed.

Can extend the life of your phone

…

So are these statements correct?

If I don’t turn off my mobile phone, will the radiation affect my health?

Radiation is divided into ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation. X-rays, CT scans, etc. are all ionizing radiation, which can cause certain harm to humans. However, mobile phone radiation is non-ionizing radiation, and the amount of radiation is very small! It is the same as household appliances such as routers, computers, microwave ovens, and TVs. As long as they are qualified products, there is basically no problem!

In addition, the amount of non-ionizing radiation will decrease as the distance between the radiation source and the body increases. If you are still worried, you can place your mobile phone farther away from the bed when you sleep.

Will turning your phone on and off every day extend its lifespan?

When the phone is turned off, the system will be completely shut down, and the CPU and other hardware will not be in use. When it is turned on again, the phone will re-detect the hardware and load application data, and the phone's memory will be occupied and read and written in large quantities. Therefore, frequent power on and off will cause damage to the phone's hardware and will not extend its life. It is recommended to power it on and off once a week.

Actually, the harm of playing with mobile phones before going to bed

More worthy of our attention

01Affects sleep quality

Frequently playing with your phone before bedtime will not only disrupt your sleep and cause sleep delays. The blue light emitted by the phone may also affect the secretion of melatonin (an important hormone that regulates sleep), leading to difficulty falling asleep or poor sleep quality. In severe cases, it may even affect brain function, causing anxiety, depression and other problems.

02 Easy to hurt eyes

Playing with mobile phones in bed for a long time before going to bed can easily cause eye fatigue and decreased vision because the eyes are close to the screen. Especially when playing with mobile phones with the lights off, the eyes are stimulated by the bright light of the screen, and the composition and secretion of tears will be affected. Over time, symptoms such as dry eyes, redness, swelling and pain may occur, and even the corneal epithelium may fall off and cause dry eyes. 03 Other adverse effects Playing with mobile phones while lying on your side may cause deviations in vision of the left and right eyes due to the high pressure on the eyes and uneven use of the left and right eyes. If you play with your mobile phone while lying on your left side for a long time, it may also compress the heart and cause breathing difficulties. Playing with mobile phones while lying prone will not only affect the blood circulation of the elbows and brain, but also cause inertial ischemia of the neck, and is more likely to cause physical fatigue.

Although mobile phones are good, don't play with them too much. If you still can't help playing with your mobile phone before going to bed, remember to turn on the lights and don't put yourself in a completely dark environment. In addition, try not to play with your mobile phone for more than an hour before going to bed. Keep your eyes more than 30 cm away from the phone so that you can better protect yourself.
