JAKARTA - Most people immediately check their cellphones or cellphones after waking up. A study from the International Data Corporation revealed that 80 percent of smartphone users check their cellphones in the first 15 minutes of each morning.

This habit may be happy, but it turns out to have a bad impact on the health of the body. Here are some things that can happen to the body if you constantly check your cellphone after waking up.

1. Stress

Quoted from Healthshots, on Friday, April 25, 2025, exposure to information and notifications after waking up may cause an urgency and stress. This can even affect a person's life in a full day.

"Continuous updates on work, social media, or news can cause feelings of direct stress, which creates a stressful atmosphere throughout the day," said psychiatrist Jyoni Kapoor.

2. tense eyes

When you wake up in the morning, your eyes will still adapt to the light. Looking at the bright screen like from your phone for a long time will immediately make your eyes tense. This can cause discomfort, headaches, and dry eyes.

3. Brain function is disrupted

Immediately playing with your phone after waking up can also interfere with brain function. This is because the brain should adapt naturally to a new day, but by using a cell phone, the brain is immediately bombarded with various information, which can affect physical structure and brain function.

4. Focus disrupted

The use of cell phones after waking up can also cause a focus to be disrupted. Instead of focusing on activities that must be done in the morning, a person can be trapped in social media checking activities, or other online activities, and ignoring activities that must be carried out in real life.
