Doctor Identifies Excessive Phone Use as Root Cause of Missed Exercise and Poor Sleep

Doctor Identifies Excessive Phone Use as Root Cause of Missed Exercise and Poor SleepPreviousNext

A senior neurologist from Apollo Hospitals, Dr. Sudhir Kumar, suggests that excessive phone use, rather than busy schedules, is the primary reason many people skip exercise and sleep less. He explains that morning phone scrolling encroaches on optimal exercise times, while late-night screen exposure delays sleep and reduces its quality by affecting melatonin production. Dr. Kumar emphasizes that this habit leads to a loss of productive time and diminished physical and mental recovery.
