Warning! Forget Other Reasons, Here's Why You Should Never Take Your Phone to Bed

According to SaedNews, it has long been discussed that the blue light emitted by smartphone screens makes the brain think it's still daytime, keeping you alert and disrupting your sleep.

However, health experts have found that the problem of taking smartphones to bed goes beyond this.

According to research by the University of Arizona, the average person touches their phone more than 2,600 times a day, which quickly makes phones contaminated. In fact, the buttons on smartphones harbor ten times more bacteria than toilet seats. Another study found that at least 51% of people never clean their phones, leading to an even greater accumulation of bacteria on these devices.

When examining various household devices, like remote controls or smartwatches, mobile phones topped the list for the most contamination.

The most common type of bacteria found on technological devices, especially smartphones, is "Pseudomonas aeruginosa." This bacterium poses a risk to people with weakened immune systems and can cause skin irritation or disrupt sleep.

This type of bacteria has also been found in cockroach feces. So, taking your smartphone to bed and having it touch your face is akin to bringing cockroach feces into your bed.

What Should Be Done?

To avoid these microbes, it's best to keep your smartphone away from you while sleeping. If that's not possible, clean your phone with UV sanitizers or alcohol wipes before bed.

If you place your smartphone under your pillow, wash your pillowcase twice a week.

By keeping your phone away from your warm bed or regularly cleaning it, you can prevent the spread of these harmful bacteria.
