Findings #3

Is over obsessive text messaging causing stress and sleep loss? Local doctors located in the Pittsburg area are starting to believe that hypertexting is leading to anxiety, sleep loss, distraction in school, failing grades and all stress. It is causing short and long term anxiety, meaning the short term anxiety is asking yourself "Are they gonna answer?" and the long term anxiety is staying up late at night and and making your daily activities less and less functional. Texting is not only causing physical damage but it is also affecting grades. Taking your mind and focus off your work and putting it towards the social media. This may eventually lead to mayhem with lack of physical interaction in physical and mental ways in the schools and home. (Keeley, Lauren. "Incessant teen texting causes health concern."
