Smartphone Habits and Health: What's the Link for Spanish Students?

Smartphone use is a big part of life for many students. But is it becoming too big? A recent study looked at this question among Spanish university students. It found that over a third of them might be using their phones in unhealthy ways. The study asked students about their phone habits, health, and feelings of loneliness. It also looked at how much time they spent on their phones, especially before bed. The results showed that students who used their phones for fun or entertainment were more likely to have problems. So were those who smoked, drank alcohol, or felt lonely. Interestingly, students who were more active physically were less likely to have issues with their phone use. This suggests that staying active might help balance out screen time. The study highlights a need for better guidelines on tech use. It's not about stopping phone use altogether. Instead, it's about finding a healthy balance.
