Technology Has Destroyed My Sleep!

There are moments when I really hate technology and wish if we had never invented computers, mobile phones, tablets, Internet, television and so on. Technology advancements have turned me into a 'screenager'.

I stare at some screen for most part of the day. It's so much a part of my life that I can't go to sleep without checking mails on my phone. I spend time reading stuff and also writing about it via VoiCE.

The result is that my sleeping hours have reduced and I'm aware that it's not good for my health.

Technology has destroyed my sleep 😡

Completely agree! The more digital its getting, the more unhealthier it will be. These days, even I feel that its becoming too much! We are going away from the nature. And I am not actually liking it 😔

Yes biggie true said 😀 see the nocturnal guys still hunting for thread 😀

Heck I'm in front of a new screen now, typing stuff and reading 😛

Hey Biggie,
I agree with you.Life is becoming digital at a very fast pace. After a few days young boys will say ,"That girl looks very good.See her she is of 1600Mega Pixels".

lol any ways but great joke.:razz:

(P.S : Any way I am not like those people,I won't say any thing about girls.I respect them.)

I agree with you biggie... Moreover, I am allergic to cell phone radiations. In the sense, I get a disturbed sleep, if any radiating device is near me. Another thing is, people cannot go to my room unless they are protected from radiations arising out of the devices in my room! 😲
Ankita Katdare

Yeah. I am nodding in agreement. It has ruined my sleep. I start my day watching screens and end my day by setting up alarm in my cellphone which is again a screen! 😔

We are all screenagers.. 😐 Being a computer science engineer, I don't see any way out of this.
PraveenKumar Purushothaman

What do you say about my situation? I am 24 hours in front of the screen, plus, my office work too! 😔
Saandeep Sreerambatla

Sleep deprivation started when I started my graduation , circuits , CRO (screen) , Computer , bread board etc etc...

Now after education then I am almost in front of screen for 16-18 hrs a day!

So I too agree 😀

Like we all know everything int he world has it's pros and cons but it's all up to us what to make of it. My father constantly keeps bugging me when I type messages while having dinner or while in a middle of discussing some stuff with my family.

We have to think for ourselves about how technology is going to affect us. We are the masters of our lives after all! 😀

The three mistakes of my life can be said as this way:
1. Taking up Engineering. 😔
2. Joining an MNC. 😔
3. Having good passion on development! 😔

If we plan our time for the work life balance, I guess it is possible. Stay healthy wealthy and wise... 😀

Things got worse for me when I started visualizing my inbox filled with 'expected' mails while trying to sleep 😛

Ha ha... Same here...
You won't believe! For the first time in my life, a cloooooose friend of mine asked me for a favour. I agreed immediately and finally I found to be down with fever! I was waiting for her online presence, inspite of that and asked my friends to call her and get the status, as I am a guy and cannot call a girl's home like that. After a few calls to my friend, she said she will be coming in 2 mins. Finally after 200 mins she came and we had the conversation... Woah man!!! The next few days I was literally hospitalised because of the tension and expectations!!! 😛
Deepika Bansal

Completely agree with all.
Before starting my engineering, I used to have a 7-8 hour sound sleep and enjoyed a quality time with my family.😀
But now it has reduced to just 5 hour sleep. I've even sometimes remained without a single minute sleep for 2 days or so in order to complete my projects.😔
Now I don't spend much time talking and discussing with my family. I now have no idea what's new is going on in my family and family business.😭

That one is real lesson to learn. Sleep is very important for all of us.

A University of California, San Diego psychiatry study of more than one million adults found that people who live the longest self-report sleeping for six to seven hours each night.

I heard in some place that, the punishment given by the police or officials is, the one punished shouldn't sleep for several days, but he is allowed to do anything, like he gets what he wants, except sleep. So, sleep is really important... 😀

There are always two sides of the coin 😀 . It's just matter of discipline. Otherwise, Technology is like a Black-Hole. Once you're in, you can't get out. 😛

If the technology goes on like this, you will be struck in between numbers, so much so that you will not even be able to order a pizza.

This is one great article I've found: Lifehacker | Do everything better.
A must read article for all those whose sleep has been destroyed by the technology and want to get back to normal routine.

I usually get sufficient sleep but for last seven days while writing this Dangerous Technologies I kept on thinking about it almost the entire day. Really this Dangerous Technologies had destroyed my sleep 😛

See those movies, esp. 13B and Final Destination Series in the midnight... You will sleep permanently... 😀
