There is a word for the fear of being without your phone!

Oh no!!  I left my phone at home!  What will I do?  Do you start to feel all unsettled and tense if you accidentally leave your phone at home or even if it’s just in a different room? There’s a word for that: Nomophobia.

And it’s becoming REALLY common . . . especially for younger people. A new study found 89% of college students have moderate to severe nomophobia.

The researchers also found nomophobia is linked to worse sleep.
