Summary:
Sitting At The Computer
In a three year survey of 25,000 computer workers, a large majority of them reported feeling depressed and anxious when they woke up in the morning. Many of them were even reluctant to get out of bed.
Spending Time on the Couch
Being a couch potato drains motivation from your body, resulting in what your brain perceives as a loss of purpose. Over time, your mind will begin looking for something to do, causing you to become anxious. Add cigarettes, booze and junk food into the equation, you risk of heart disease will increase by 64%. Your life expectancy can also drop by 7 years. Life looks fairly grim for sofa dwellers.
Oversleeping
Roughly 15% of people with depression claim to be oversleepers.
Drinking Soda
Those who drink four or more cans of fruit punch a day are 38% more likely to suffer from some type of depressive disorder.
Too Much Gaming
As of 2018, 97% of American teenagers played video games, but some a lot more than others. This is due to their increase of access. Whatever your method of consumption may be, too much time gaming can take its toll on your mental state.
Too Much Exercise
If you workout on the regular, your brain may become attached to these endorphins. Over time, you’ll require an increased number in order to feel good. This forces you to exercise longer.
Social Media
As of 2019, an estimated 3.4 billion people consume social media. 366 million have joined a social network just within the last year. Between the years of 2005 and 2014, studies revealed an increase in depression from 8.7% to 11.3% amongst children. There was also a small jump from 8.8% to 9.6% for young adults.
