Basically, all social networks are powerful communication tools that cause all sorts of problems. A typical example is netolism. Addiction to the internet and social networks primarily affects the psyche. One of the areas much affected is human sleep. Insomnia plagues many teenagers who have fallen into social networking.
Negative effect on sleep
Too much attention paid to communication on the internet generally leads to one negative thing. A person's brain is constantly working and is not able to rest. Frequent chatting with friends long into the evening also brings about the urge to check the phone during the night. Thus, the brain is constantly straining and sleep itself slowly fades away and disappears. This is doubly true when social networking plays a role in Cyberbullying.
Insomnia needs to be addressed with proper hygiene
Now we do not mean the physical hygiene of the body, but of the mind. Sleep hygiene, of course, leads to the fact that before going to sleep primarily you will not use social networks. In addition, there are a few other practical tips you can consider. The most important ones are listed in the table below.
Subject | Value |
Do not drink coffee before bedtime | 4 to 6 hours |
Forgive yourself for heavy meals | 3 to 4 hours |
Ideal room temperature | 18 to 20 degrees Celsius |
Do not exercise before bedtime | 3 to 4 hours |
Of course, add to these recommendations limiting alcohol, not smoking and trying to go to bed at around the same time. This also applies to getting up.
Solve insomnia with the absence of technology in the bedroom
If social networks cause unpleasant insomnia, we need to start at the root of these problems. Mobile phones, tablets, laptops and computers are the root cause. Try to exclude them from your bedroom before going to sleep. Ideally, you won't even have a TV in your bedroom and will really only use this space for sleep, rest and relaxation.
These recommendations apply primarily to minors. They are able to communicate via social networks long into the evening. Underestimating this problem can lead to the development of various neuroses.
