"Should I turn off my cell phone?"

I guess this is the question that most people think about every night. If they turn off their phones, they are afraid that they will not receive important messages or calls. If they don't turn off their phones, they are afraid that it will affect the battery life of their phones. This is indeed a difficult decision.

So, should we turn off our mobile phones every day, or do we not need to turn them off for a long time?

Is the phone turned off?

For people nowadays, mobile phones are actually more like a part of their body. They have to carry their mobile phones with them no matter where they go or what they do.

Otherwise, I always feel like I have lost my soul.

For example, when we go downstairs to the supermarket to buy something, even if we bring cash with us, we cannot leave our mobile phone at home. When we take the elevator or walk, we have to lower our head and swipe twice.

If I don’t have a mobile phone, I feel like a “fake person” and always feel out of tune with the people around me when I go out.

And before going to bed at night, I have to lie in bed and check my phone for at least 1-2 hours, and before going to bed I have to check if there are any messages.

However, in the process of using mobile phones, many problems also arise, such as the problem of mobile phone batteries and whether the mobile phone should be turned off every day.

After buying a new mobile phone, some people will turn off their phone before going to bed every night to give the phone a good rest, and then let the phone wake up with them when they wake up the next morning.

This is actually the psychological activity of many people, who believe that mobile phones also need their own rest time.

But for some people, they will not shut down their phones if they can. Since they bought the phone, they basically will not shut down the phone on their own initiative unless they accidentally touch the power off button or they have to restart it.

This is actually the reason why many parents say, "If the cell phone could talk, it would have scolded you countless times." The cell phone is running at high load every day. You don't turn it off even when you take a break. It is still running all the time and will notify you in time when there is any message.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true. If the mobile phone was a person, it would probably not be able to bear it if it was used 24 hours a day without rest.

Some people may want to be a little nicer to their phones in order to make themselves feel better. Whenever they remember, they will press the restart button on their phone, pretending that it has been turned off and let it rest for a while.

The question of whether to turn off the mobile phone and how often to turn it off has always been very controversial.

As it turns out, turning off your phone every day is not good for it, but not turning it off for a long time is also not healthy.

I can tell you very clearly that mobile phones should not be turned on and off frequently.

The dangers of frequent shutdowns

You know, from the perspective of the mobile phone, there is no need to shut it down every day. Doing so will not only fail to extend its service life, but will put more pressure on the phone.

Because every time we turn the phone on and off, it actually requires a lot of operation for the phone.

We can imagine that when a machine is shut down for a long time, everything in it is not started. But every time it is turned on, all the software seems to come alive and start collecting a lot of data to operate. For example, searching the network, various storage functions, etc. need to be re-run.

Every time a mobile phone is turned on, it actually involves a large amount of data reading and writing, which in turn causes certain wear and tear on the storage device.

According to this direction, there is actually no need to turn on and off the phone every day, which actually brings a "burden" to the phone in an indirect way.

Some people think that they can turn off their mobile phones when they go to bed at night, which may save more power. In fact, this idea is completely wrong.

Because after shutting down and restarting, all the data of the phone needs to be reloaded. When turning on and off the phone, the CPU of the phone is running at high speed, and the power consumption can be at least 5%, and some can even reach 10%, which varies from person to person.

The power consumption in this process is actually more than what we consume when we leave the computer on standby for one night.

Therefore, thinking of turning off the computer at night to save electricity is actually fundamentally wrong.

Besides, if our mobile phones are turned off all night, then if our family and friends have something urgent, we will not be able to receive their messages or calls in the first time.

Although shutting down the phone frequently every day is not very good for the phone, it is actually incorrect if we do not shut it down for a long time.

After all, when the mobile phone is running, all the programs, software and various aspects in it are constantly working. If we don’t turn it off, our mobile phone will definitely become slower and slower.

Many people may have had similar experiences. They did not do anything but just used their phones normally, but their phones became slower and slower.

This is actually because when we use the mobile phone, some junk files are automatically generated in the system, and many software are running in the background. Over time, problems will definitely arise.

How to use it

According to the above statement, we can't turn off the phone once a day, nor can we keep it turned off at all. So how to turn it off is the best way to treat the phone?

In fact, the answer to this question is very simple: close it once a week.

If we use our mobile phone for a week, there will definitely be some junk content in it, or things that run in the background for a long time.

If you do this once a week, you can regularly clean out the garbage generated in your phone. During this process, the phone will actually perform some self-repairs.

After restarting, you will find that your phone seems to have become smoother. This is actually why when our phone is stuck sometimes, we can solve most problems by just restarting it.

Such a shutdown and restart cycle will neither cause damage to the phone due to frequent shutdown, nor cause a bunch of junk files to appear on the phone due to not shutting down for a long time.

Some people may think that a mobile phone is a consumable item and you can use it in whatever way is convenient for you.

There is some truth in this statement.

However, since we spent so much money to buy a mobile phone, we certainly don’t want to see its lifespan be so short. Therefore, using the mobile phone reasonably is actually a disguised way of saving money for ourselves.
