Well, you’re not the only one! Forget about Obesity, Infobesity seems to be the latest trend.
Nowadays, almost everyone has a Twitter-, Facebook-, and/or Linked-In account. It was never so easy to keep in touch with your friends, colleagues and acquaintances. However, these kind of interactive advantages have also a few disadvantages.
Our brain receives 10 times (!) as much information to process than about 100 years ago. The brain constantly has to make decisions on which information is relevant at the moment and which is not. This can result in fatigue and nervousness.
Another symptom of Infobesitas is the fear of missing something. It might sound a little bit exaggerated, but this symptom is often reflected in the need to refresh a website every 5 minutes. In that light, I think almost everyone who uses his Twitter-, Facebook-, and Hyvesaccount frequently, might have Infobesitas in greater or less extent.

Although Infobesitas is a new labeled disease, the complaints have to be taken very seriously. People who heavily suffer from Infobesitas have a sleep deficit, fatigue and feel constantly restless.
Luckily, Infobesitas can be healed. If you have the feeling that there is too much information coming after you, it is wise to check and answer your e-mail for example only three times a day. Or schedule every day one hour to update your network sites. In the beginning it will be really difficult, but after a few weeks you will be more relaxed (and probably sleep better).
