The voices of common folks are heard through these platforms whereby one goes online and shares his pent-up feelings to find some solace.

On top of that, it is these social media platforms that keep us updated with the events that are going on in the world. Thanks to the advancement in technology, the world has become a global village. News from the wilderness of South Africa reaches other parts of the world within seconds. Thus, if we keep counting the benefits of social media, we will be short of words.

The idea is simple: Social media plays a pivotal role in our lives. No matter who you are and where you live, you are always able to make the most of the available social media platforms. But this comes with a price, a heavy one, in fact. We are so occupied with these social media platforms that we forget ourselves. Frankly speaking, when we pick up our phones, we get lost in them. From scrolling through social media feeds to randomly browsing the internet, we forget ourselves.

Thus, our routine gets distracted and we forget to remind ourselves when to sleep, when to eat, and when to do chores. This flip side of social media needs to be addressed.

Do Not Overuse Social Media

It is no secret that Gen-Z is a cell phone addict. And no matter what you tell this lazy generation, you can not convince them to quit overusing cell phones. So, will we leave the problem as it is? Of course, not. Parents need to be proactive in teaching their kids the correct usage of cell phones.

Scientifically, no one should use it at least one hour prior to going to bed. This will enable them to take quality full-night sleep. Similarly, as you wake up, do not pick up your phone. Instead, develop a routine of washing your hands, brushing your teeth, or doing yoga. The idea is not to pick up your phone the first thing after you wake up.

In turn, you will be all set to kick off your day with vigor.

Keep A Glass of Water On Your Side Table

Drinking water at night helps in taking proper rest. It will help you in avoiding dehydration. In turn, you will take quality slumber - which is essential for your overall well-being.

So, drink a fair bit of water every night. Prior to falling asleep and whenever you wake up during the night.
