There are so many problems with staring at screens in addition to this. eg.

1. Eye strain and headaches: Staring at screens for extended periods of time can cause eye strain, headaches, and other physical symptoms.

2. Sleep disruption: The blue light emitted by screens can interfere with the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, leading to sleep problems.

3. Decreased physical activity: Spending too much time staring at screens can result in decreased physical activity and contribute to sedentary behavior.

4. Social and psychological effects: Spending excessive time on screens can have social and psychological effects, such as reducing face-to-face interaction, increasing feelings of isolation, and affecting mental well-being.
