This might be the funniest yet serious thing to talk about. Nowadays, we use our phones a lot. We have our phones with us everywhere. From bed, to bathroom, it’s with us always.
The usage of our phones is directly proportional to the number of times we misplace it. For example, I forgot my phone in my fridge this morning as I went to take some milk out. Well that is just one of the issues. The other problem is that since our phones keep buzzing 24/7, you keep it on silence and BOOM! Now you can’t even locate where you kept it.

3. Close to your face
While receiving phone calls, make sure you maintain 0.5-1.5 cm difference. First, the phone releases electromagnetic radiations. Secondly, it contains bacteria which can lead to various skin infections. Don’t forget to clean your phones screen from time to time, especially if you’re someone who uses make up.
4. Cold weather

Hence, be careful if the AC is on in your car or the weather outside is snowing. To prevent such situations, buy a phone guard that keeps your phone intact and warm.
5. Under your pillow
A lot of us have the habit of keeping our phones under our pillow for whatever reason, in spite of having a side table. This is extremely bad for your health. Extraneous light affects the production of melatonin, which is produced by the lighting up of your screen during the night time every time a new notification comes in. This is really bad for your health. This will lead to disturbed sleep which is bad for your body and mind. The electromagnetic radiations emitted by this also cause severe headache. Phones give off a heat and if it’s under the pillow, the heat won’t be able to escape and that shall lead to burning of the phone and cause a major accident. Hence, long thing short, no mobile under the pillow.
