Heavy phone users 'lack effective sleep patterns'
Teenagers who rely heavily on their mobile phones suffer bad sleep patterns and a tendency to become stressed and fatigued, a new study has found.
In a test involving otherwise healthy 14 to 20-year-olds, it was found that teenagers that used their phone at least 15 times per day to call or text were more likely to suffer restlessness and fatigue than those who used their phones only five times each day. The study's author, Dr Gaby Badre of Sahlgren's Academy in Gothenburg, Sweden, stated that "addiction to cellphone is becoming common", adding that, "Youngsters feel a group pressure to remain inter-connected and reachable round the clock." Perhaps more worryingly, Dr Badre also found links between heavy mobile phone use and behaviour that is detrimental to health. "There seem to be a connection between intensive use of cellphones and health-compromising behaviour such as smoking, snuffing and use of alcohol," she explained. The problem may only become worse as mobile phones become more integrated into people's lives, with new technology such as internet access and media becoming more and more common on mobile phone handsets.
