A comprehensive research study conducted by the International Data Corporation (IDC) found that roughly 80 percent of smartphone users check their mobile phones within 15 minutes of waking up, and many within seconds. According to Dr. Nikole Benders-Hadi, a psychiatrist who specializes in neurology, “immediately turning to your phone when you wake up can start your day off in a way that is more likely to increase stress and leave you feeling overwhelmed.”
