For many people, the morning follows a familiar pattern: alarm clock, phone in hand, coffee, and rushing to daily tasks. However, specialists warn that seemingly harmless habits can have an impact on health. They particularly highlight the habit of checking the phone immediately upon waking.

According to doctors, this behavior can increase stress levels early in the day. The phone screen and the influx of information stimulate the brain too abruptly, preventing a gradual transition to wakefulness. Instead, it is recommended to spend a few minutes in silence, stretch, or think about the upcoming day.

Experts advise avoiding early phone use in the morning to reduce the risk of stress and anxiety. This simple change in habit can improve overall well-being and promote a calmer start to the day.
