Mobile Screen Effects on the Brain: The bright screens of mobile phones and laptops affect the brain, especially in children. Let us explain what problems this can cause.

Today, mobile phones, tablets, and laptops have become digital babysitters for children. However, doctors and experts are concerned that excessive use of bright screens is quickly tiring children's brains, and their effects are clearly visible on sleep, attention, and behavior.

It's now a common sight in many homes to see children engrossed in screens, skipping meals and homework, and delaying bedtimes. Clinical examinations reveal more than just stubbornness or a lack of discipline, but rather a dependency on screens.

Experts say that constantly looking at screens keeps children's brains constantly searching for new things. The rapidly changing content on mobile phones and laptops keeps the brain constantly active, leading to early mental fatigue and a reduced ability to focus.

Screens have a major impact on sleep. Staring at a mobile phone or laptop for extended periods delays sleep, and the screen light also affects the body's natural sleep hormones. As a result, the next day begins with irritability and fatigue.

Gradually, children become emotionally dependent on screens. When boredom, stress, or the pressure of studies arise, the screen becomes an easy source of relief, making even small problems seem insurmountable without a mobile phone or laptop.

Doctors agree that not all screen time is a problem, but when a child becomes restless, angry, or withdraws from studies and play, it's a warning sign. The real problem isn't screen time, but the psychological impact it can have.

Experts say the solution isn't to completely take away mobile phones, but rather to strike a balance. Children's screen use should be limited and sensible, so their brains don't become fatigued and they can remain mentally healthy.
