您沉迷于手机的迹象
1] 手机成瘾的人，当他们发现手机放错地方时会感到恐慌。(panic)他们会寻找每一个可能的地方，直到找到它才会休息。万一他们找不到，他们会感到非常沮丧，很可能会远离别人几天。
2] 如果他们把电话留在家里，他们会感到一种空虚(void)——就好像他们把一些像人类婴儿一样重要的东西留在了家里，无人看管。他们迫不及待地想回家——拿起手机查看通知。
3] 你起床后多久查看手机(check your phone after waking up)？一些研究表明，大多数人会在起床后一小时内查看手机。还发现了一些案例，人们即使在努力醒来时也会检查他们的手机。
4] 你会带着手机而不是报纸进厕所吗？(carry your phone into the toilet)这个是基于上面的，但有一点不同。这里的重点是使用手机和平板电脑而不是实际的报纸来获取新闻。
5] 你的手机会和你一起洗澡( take a shower with you)吗？在某些情况下，人们使用防水罩，以便他们可以将手机带到淋浴或浴缸中，在那里他们可以继续聊天或做类似的事情。
6] 经常检查手机是否有通知，但一无所获而感到失望(getting disappointed)。表明您是否沉迷于手机的众多迹象之一是用户希望与他们的手机进行持续互动——无论他们在现实生活中做什么。
7]这一点扩展了第六点。即使你现在有一个真实的人可以交谈，你是否继续发短信和聊天？(texting and chatting)换句话说，如果你在现实生活中与一个人交谈，你还会使用电话吗？
8]与手机相比，这些天您使用电脑的次数减少了多少？(How)随着人们对手机上瘾，他们逐渐从普通电脑(shift from their normal computers)转向手机和平板电脑，几乎可以满足所有需求：访问网站、查看邮件、聊天和其他目的。普通电脑使用时间的急剧减少以及手机使用时间的增加表明手机成瘾。例如，您可能正在手机上阅读此内容！
9]您是否经常熬夜聊天、交谈或赶上Facebook 、(Facebook) Twitter等(Twitter)社交网站( social sites)？(How)有没有发生过你醒来时手里还拿着手机？也许你需要一个数字排毒(Digital Detox)！

10 Signs that you are addicted to your Phone for sure
Smartphones are an important component of lives. But some people believe there should be a limit to how they use phones (and tablets). Some have gone to the extent of saying that excessive usage of phones can cause several social and health disorders, including brain cancer (see References section). Point is, are you addicted to your phone? Check out the following 10 signs to find out.
Signs That You Are Addicted To Your Phone
1] People with phone addiction, panic when they find out that they misplaced their phone. They will search for every possible place and won’t rest until they find it. In case they can’t find it, they feel very depressed and will probably stay away from others for a few days.
2] If they leave the phone at home, they feel a kind of void – as if they left something, as important as a human baby, unattended at home. They can’t wait to get home – to pick up their phone and check for notifications.
3] How quickly do you check your phone after waking up? Some studies have suggested a majority of people check their phone within one hour of waking up. Some cases were also found where people check for their phones even as they are struggling to wake up.
4] Do you carry your phone into the toilet instead of newspapers? This one is based on the above but a little different. The point here is using phones and tablets for news instead of actual newspapers.
5] Does your phone take a shower with you? There are cases where people use water-proof covers so that they can take their phones to the shower or bath tub where they keep on chatting or doing anything similar.
6] Checking the phone frequently for notifications and getting disappointed upon seeing none. One of the many signs that tell if you are addicted to your phone is that users want constant interaction with their phone – irrespective of what they are doing in real life.
7] This one expands on point six. Do you keep on texting and chatting even though you have a real person to talk to at the moment? In other words, if you are talking to a person in real life, would you still be using the phone?
8] How less are you using your computers these days – compared to phones? As people get addicted to phones, they gradually shift from their normal computers to phones and tablets for almost everything: To visit a site, to check their mail, for chatting and other purposes. A heavy and sudden reduction in usage time of normal computers combined with an increase in usage time of phones is indicative of phone addiction. For example, you may be reading this on your phone!
9] How often do you try to stay up in the night to chat, converse or catch up with social sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc.? Ever happened that you woke up with the phone still in your hand? Maybe you need a Digital Detox!
10] Finally, what do you prefer towards the end of the day:
- Staying up on the bed doing something on your phone or
- Spending some quality time with your family?
These are some tell-tale signs that show that you may be addicted to your smartphone. Know them, so that you can know if you are addicted to your mobile phone. Are you!?
