Reports in the media maintain that adults in the UK check their mobiles 33 times a day. For teenagers, it’s almost three times as much rising to an average of 90. One solution that has been recommended is downloading an app to monitor when and how long you spend on your mobile. Of course, we need to use our mobile phone to do that.

But apparently, it will enable you to become more conscious of the things that trigger your phone use and, as a result, reduce your total phone time.

Or you could just decide for yourself when, where and for how long you use your mobile phone. The bedroom seems a good place to start as studies show that a third of UK adults look at their phones within five minutes of waking, and more than half doing so within 15 minutes. Just keeping it out of your reach is one possible solution.
