Mobile phone sleep problems
p2p news / p2pnet: Swedish teens are experiencing mobile phone-induced sleep disturbance problems. And it’s not because they’re being woken up by calls.
They’re afraid they might miss something important.
"Mobile phones are a scourge, damaging teenagers who believe that they must always be reachable and who are kept awake by SMS signals through the night," says The Local, quoting Ulla Palenius, a doctor at Karlstad’s upper schools, whi was speaking to local paper Nya Wermlands-Tidningen.
"The fear of not being in the loop or of missing something is huge," she said.
Moreover, Palenius says more, and younger pupils are, "suffering from sleeplessness and concentration difficulties".
