As we move into the New Year and make out our list of resolutions, be sure to add giving up your addictions. I'm not speaking of the hard drugs. I'm sure the majority of my readers aren't hooked on heroine or cocaine.
Neither am I talking about drugs prescribed by your doctor. It's true that...
You didn't list some of the more pernicious electronic addictions, like Twitter, Facebook, Freecell and online games. Then there's gambling, sex, gossip, shopping ... Oh my, there are as many addictions as there are human beings. But seriously, these non-consumable addictions are destructive to relationships, personal productivity, all sorts of ways beyond the physical detriments of lowered activity levels and perhaps heightened blood pressure.
Any thoughts on these?
Oh, I agree the addictions you mention can be just as devastating as alcohol, smoking, etc. But research hasn't been done on them in regards to sleep like what has been done on the ones I mentioned. Besides, if I went into the problems of all these addictions, it would take a book, far more words than Health Central could condone.
