If WhatsApp, Facebook and other social media platforms are regularly wasting your sleeping time then you are addicted of it. A study has found that the use of social media like Facebook and Whatsapp is making people postpone their sleeping time by more than one and half hours (about 100 minutes) every day.

Is Whatsapp keeping you way past your bedtime? You’re not the only one, say doctors at Bengaluru-based National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (Nimhans). A study by the Service for Healthy Use of Technology (SHUT) clinic at Nimhans in 2016, researchers revealed that the use of Internet was also making people wake up 90 minutes later from actual time.

Users who are between 15 and 19 age, spent so much time on social media. The Study by Indian Journal, Occupational and Environmental Medicine, shows that most of the people use their smart phones and tablets at least four times after going to bed.

“This was followed by Facebook usage (32.6%). Messenger applications other than WhatsApp and Hike were used rarely (65.7%). Gmail was shown to be frequently used by participants (45.3%),” psychiatrist Dr. Manoj Kumar Sharma, additional professor at SHUT clinic, said.

The study showed that 60% of the users use their smartphones along with other digitalized devices like desktops, laptops and tablets at home and 42% of peoples accepted that they stop their work just to be on social media.
