    1. Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor (or on a footrest), and your thighs roughly parallel to the floor.

      This is something that I continuously struggle with. I spend a ton of time on the computer from having a full-time job and being enrolled five college classes. There are times I am so tired of being at the computer, so I slouch over the desk. While I might think that I am helping myself, I am technically doing more harm than I am good. Sitting up straight with my feet on the floor can be so challenging. I like to have my feet in the chair. I hope to be more diligent about my posture as I move further.

    2. Current research has shown that the interactive use of a smartphone, computer, or video game console in the hour before bedtime increases the likelihood of both reported difficulty falling asleep and having unrefreshing sleep.

      This comment felt very real. As person who uses their phone before they go to sleep, I can agree that this is true. When you use your phone to "wine down" you are only amping yourself up. When I talk to my significant other before falling asleep and put my phone down, I tend to sleep much better. I do not have a hundred thoughts running through my head about wordily problems, games, or notifications. I think it may be even a good idea to place your phone in another room before going to sleep.

    3. A preoccupation with online activities that interferes with real-world social or occupational functioning.

      I chose this sentence because in today's world, being addicted to the internet is such a serious issue. Students spend their time in class using technology, then they go home and continue to use technology. They sit at the dinner table scrolling, they sit in their rooms and scroll, they cannot live without their phones. I think that internet addiction needs to be addressed, and we need to put our phones down. This is not just for students; this is for all people. We need to connect to reality again.
