I think sometimes it can be distracting as for example you have these gamification apps like Duolingo. You realize you aren't learning but the game is an obsession and you keep at it maintaining your streak.
I have that issue and even though I have another app, I keep doing my Duolingo before going to bed.
Ironically i don't even get tokens like here on #Hive 😆
Hahahaha... That's funny! 😂
A few years ago I was hooked up on some mobile games like ClashRoyale and BrawlStars, and I would play those stupid games for hours... What a waste of time... Recently, my phone has been slower and slower, so I'm "demotivated" to use it at all... It does me a favor... 😃 I have so much more time for smarter things to do... 😃
