Sad news: technology isn’t all sunshine, lollipops and on-demand music. It’s time to swipe right on the not-so-good bits…
SCREEN EYE
CAUSE The unfortunate reality? Sitting in front of a screen can turn you a little Gollum-like in the eye department. “Staring at a screen tends to reduce your blink rate by around 30 per cent, which makes more water evaporate from the eye’s surface,” says optometrist Daniel Hardiman-McCartney. The result? A thick, mucus-like substance around the eye. Yum.
CURE Try the 20/20/20 rule. “Every 20 minutes, look at something roughly 20 feet (six metres) away for 20 seconds and do some exaggerated blinks,” says Hardiman-McCartney. Just make sure you’re not staring at Josh the postie. He scares easy.
RACING HEART
CAUSE You hold your breath reading emails, sleep poorly because of blue light and are always ‘on call’ with the constant demands of your inbox and social media notifications. A study published in Computers in Human Behavior found 89 per cent of subjects experienced ‘phantom vibrations’ – thinking there was an incoming text or call even when there was nothing there. Spooky.
