When they’re not sleeping, these people use phones to check e-mails and text messages about a hundred times a day!
B. People who use their phones so often may develop “nomophobia” –they are afraid that they will be helpless without their phones. Nomophobia is short for “no-mobile-phone-phobia”. A lot of people have this phobia. In a UK study, 66% of the 1000 people said they were afraid of losing their phones.
