From the San Fran Chronicle: A cool infographic by Online Psychology Degree shows the extent to which smartphones have basically become a new bodily appendage:
90% of 18-29 year olds sleep with their smartphones
1 in 3 people would rather give up sex than their phone
95% of people use the phone for something just before going to bed
Half of people check their phones immediately if they wake up during the night
Unfortunately, our bodies haven't quite adapted to the change yet:
63% of people aren't getting enough sleep
Too much screen time reduces melatonin, the chemical that makes you sleep
Not sleeping makes you stressed and depressed
Sleeping fewer than 6 hours a night raises your heart attack risk by 50%
