Addiction

So similarly, the internet can make us addicted to itself as we can't even imagine. And if once we get addicted to it, then there is no turn back from it like being addicted to alcohol and drugs.
If we get addicted to it, then it will be very difficult to leave or avoid it. Sometimes, we can even lose our lives, family and friends too because of it. So be careful because it is as dangerous as a snake.
Can't sleep?
Insomnia

These all things result in Insomnia. Insomnia is a disease which is occurred due to lack of sleep and it is the stage when an individual cannot sleep properly.
This is very dangerous because we all know that 7-8 hours of sleep is a must for students and a hard-working person. It not only affects the mental health but the physical health of an individual too.

At that time, they realize that they have wasted their time and haven't studied even a single word. At that time, they start from a to z and complete it one night before exams.
But they will definitely fail which will lead to more distractions and stress. So use the internet in a limit and focus on your studies more otherwise, the internet will destroy your life.
