The phone has become an important part of our life. We are busy with the phone all day, and if the phone is not in our hands even for a minute, it feels as if we are forgetting something. We start feeling restless without the phone. It has become such a big part of our daily routine that it has become difficult to live without it. Let us know what effect such excessive use of the phone has on our life and how many hours should we use the phone every day.
For children and teenagers
Experts say that children and teenagers should not use the phone for more than 2 hours a day. Too much phone use can have a bad effect on their eyes and can also disturb their sleep. Apart from this, excessive phone use keeps them away from physical activities, which also affects their physical development.
For adults
For adults, 3 to 4 hours of phone use a day is considered appropriate. However, this time can change according to the work and their needs. If your work is dependent on phone or computer, then you should take breaks in between and give rest to the eyes. Using the phone too much can cause eye fatigue, headache and stress.
For the elderly
The elderly should also use the phone for a limited time, especially if they have eye or health problems. Using the phone for 1 to 2 hours a day may be fine for them.
