5 Signs You Are Addicted to Your Smartphone

Do you recognize yourself?

Smartphone addiction is a gradual process. We often don't realize how much the device dominates our everyday life.

• Phantom vibrations: You think your phone is vibrating even though it isn't.
• Panic without phone: You feel uncomfortable or anxious if you have forgotten your phone.
• Guilty conscience: You know you spend too much time on the screen but can't stop.

What you can do

The first step to recovery is realization. Observe your behavior and try to take conscious breaks.
