The list is truly endless. But the excessive use of social media can also have serious negative effects on your life – and especially on your mental health.

1. A decrease in sleep quality

Let’s be honest: Most of us spend the last minutes of the night in the dark clinging to our little smartphone screen and scrolling through our Twitter and Instagram accounts. The next thing you know, these minutes have stretched out too much and you are not even seeing anything anymore. You are just scrolling for the sake of it.

This habit can rob you of precious sleep time and alter your sleep patterns. In turn, this leads to a noticeable decrease in your overall sleep quality. If this problem extends over a long period, serious health complications may develop in addition to the fatigue and loss of productivity that you will feel immediately.

2. Poor social life

This is one of the weird effects of social media. It gives you the illusion that you have a lot of friends if you look at your Facebook account or the number of messages exchanged in your favorite online chat. But, it really is just an illusion.
