In quiet places, users place phones on vibration mode to retain access. Using the electronic devices in vibration mode frequently, one may create the illusion that the device is vibrating when it isn’t. This phenomenon is called as “phantom vibration syndrome. Stress is proportional to the phantom vibration syndrome, according to the recent studies. Phantom vibration syndrome can cause sleep problems in some people which further affects the daily living.
Methodology: - Three hundred sixty-three sample data was collected with the help of questionnaire that they were suffering from phantom vibration syndrome in a self-structured questionnaire. Data was analysed with the help of SPSS version 20.0.
