The coronavirus had forced the closure of all schools and universities worldwide. With the tremendous rise of online education, teaching is now done remotely on digital platforms using computers and mobile devices. Numerous studies have demonstrated that prolonged or excessive screen use can have an adverse effect on both physical and mental health. Stress, depression, irregular sleep patterns, negative effects on vision, posture pain, hand impairments, and musculoskeletal disorders are just some of the mental and physical afflictions.
