iPad causes neck pain and sleep problems

Scientists have found a direct relationship between the use of the tablet and the appearance of problems with the spine.

Using the tablet directly affects the appearance of pain in the neck. This conclusion was made by researchers from the University of Nevada. This is reported by Science News.

Most tablet users stoop, looking at the screen. In rare cases, the device is raised so that the back is held flat. This leads to pain in the spine.

The scientists conducted a study. As a result, 70% of the women involved and 30% of the men complained of neck pain.

Also, the researchers conducted a survey. 46% of the participants refused to use the iPad and other tablets because of the health problems, another 15% complained about sleeping problems due to the devices.
