A cool infographic by Online Psychology Degree shows the extent to which smartphones have basically become a new bodily appendage:

• 90% of 18-29 year olds sleep with their smartphones
• 1 in 3 people would rather give up sex than their phone
• 95% of people use the phone for something just before going to bed
• Half of people check their phones immediately if they wake up during the night

Unfortunately, our bodies haven't quite adapted to the change yet:

• 63% of people aren't getting enough sleep
• Too much screen time reduces melatonin, the chemical that makes you sleep
• Not sleeping makes you stressed and depressed
• Sleeping fewer than 6 hours a night raises your heart attack risk by 50%
