Why People Feel More Tired After Using Their Phone to Relax

This is "normal", established as a routine.

You feel tired.

So, you pick up your cell phone.

Just for a few minutes!!

To relax.

After another hour goes by.After another hour, it's gone.

You spoke on the phone and hang it up.

So you feel there's something like:

More drained

More restless

Less clear mentally

Even though it was a ‘rest day'.

It is this feeling that it is real.

There's a reason for it!

It's not a passive scroll but it is called Scrolling Looks Passive.

Lots of people consider using a telephone to be sleeping.

It's not a hard work.

You’re lying down.

Not working.

Not moving.

Just viewing or simply scrolling.

However, your brain remains working!

It is constantly:

Processing new information

Reacting emotionally

Making micro-decisions

Switching attention rapidly

This is not going the extra mile.

It's still work, but.But it's still work.

You can't get up to one thing in your brain!

It's okay to have continuity in order to be truly relaxed.

Examples:

Reading one chapter

One relaxing show is being watched by watching.

Taking a walk

Sitting quietly

You do not have to switch your focus between two experiences.

Usually this is the case with phone use.

After 10 minutes you can expect to see:

News

A joke

A product ad

Someone’s vacation

A health warning

A sports clip

A message notification

Your thoughts continuously bounce back and forth.

This puts some “mental friction” in the way.

You believe that you were enjoying yourself.

Your nervous system believes that is another experience that has taken place.

When scrolling, you have to make all the time decisions such as:

Just keep on going or skip,

Ignore and/or proceed to next comment.

Reply now or later

To save this, click on Save or to ignore it, click on Ignore.

To learn how to click or click to help resist clicking.

These are things the little things you make.

However, there are hundreds of little decisions which still use energy.

The Body is at Ease. The Mind is Working.

This is the mismatch that we were looking at.

The physical aspect of you is still.Your physical self is still.

You're busy and working your brain.

That can end up making for an interesting phenomenon:

You feel restful because you rested from your activity.

However, in your mind, you didn't get better.

Why is it that it feels worse at night?Why is it that it feels worse at night?

Use of the telephone is particularly misleading in the evening.

You don't have a lot of energy to spare.

So it affects people differently when they're being stimulated.

Late Night Scrolling can often cause:

Overthinking

Difficulty sleeping

Tired and wired – feeling tired but wired up and ready to go!

Poorer next-day focus

Not always due to 'Blue light'.

Commonly due to over-activation of your mind.

For some reason, short breaks can become long fatigue.For some reason it's a matter of short breaks and long fatigue.

You were planning on spending 5 minutes.

However, feeds are designed with continuations in mind.

2. Use Time Boundaries

There are a few minutes of real time in every 10 minutes of conscious effort.Each of the 10 minutes of conscience is a moment of real time.

3. Practicing Stimulating vs Restful Use.

Not everything that's on the screen is the same kind of screen time.

5. Sleep 40–60 minutes before it's bedtime.6. Avoid watching TV for the last 30 minutes before going to bed.
