For example, 72% of users says that they access Facebook when they should be working or studying, 76% are on Facebook when they should be asleep, and 56% describe their use of Facebook as compulsive. It is estimated that half of the three billion people who use the internet access Facebook monthly, with about 65% accessing Facebook religiously on a day-to-day basis. Facebook has become a key aspect of one’s online identity. We live an extension of our lives on this social platform. We communicate with friends, both near and far.

Simply put, Facebook is a part of our everyday lives- and it is here to stay for many years to come. However, when your Facebook life starts getting in the way of your real life responsibilities and interactions, you might need to put down your phone and reassess your life… or at least your Facebook habits.
