    Respected All Members,

    Just read this article CCN news site, and it’s really very interesting to want to share with you here.
    1. You lose sleep over Facebook

    "If you're staying up late at night because you're on Facebook, and you're tired the next day, Facebook may be a compulsion for you," Lipari said. "You shouldn't be neglecting yourself because of Facebook."

    2. You spend more than an hour a day on Facebook

    Pile says it's hard to pinpoint exactly how much is too much time to be spending on social networking.

    "I can't imagine that anyone would need more than an hour a day on Facebook, and probably no one needs more than 30 minutes," she said.

    3. You become obsessed with old loves

    Reconnecting with old friends is one of the great attractions of Facebook, and there's nothing necessarily wrong with "friending" an old boyfriend or girlfriend. But Pile warns that it can get out of hand very quickly.

    "One of my clients met up with an old boyfriend on Facebook. They started spending hours and hours into the night talking to each other on Facebook. She made some really inappropriate comments about how unhappy she was in her marriage," Pile said. "Her cousin saw the comments and told her parents, and the parents told the husband, and now they're in the process of getting divorced."

    4. You ignore work in favor of Facebook

    "If you're not doing your job in order to sneak time on Facebook, you could have a real problem," Lipari said.

    5. The thought of getting off Facebook leaves you in a cold sweat

    Sarah Browne, who writes the Guru of New blog, gave up Facebook for Lent last month when she realized that she had a "mild" addiction to the site. She's come up with "Seven Signs You May Be Ready for a Social Media Detox."

    Pile has her own quick test: "Try going a day without Facebook. If you find it causes you a lot of stress and anxiety, you really need to get some help.”

    I'm totally an addict. It probably equals about two to three hours of use.

    I am definitely not an addict. I'm spending less than one hour a week in FB. :)
