Do you suffer from FoMO? 

Dr. Przybylski from the University of Essex in the United Kingdom found that students with the "Fear of Missing Out" usually do these things:

• email/text/use social media during key points of the day (i.e. immediately after waking up, during meals, right before falling asleep)
• check social media during classes
• pay more attention to their phones while driving than those who do not have FoMO
• report lower mood and overall satisfaction

Learn more about the FoMO phenomenon and how to counteract the temptation of nonstop communication in this month's issue of Student Health 101!
