Stressful coworkers kill you, and so do loud neighbours,  Darth Vader’s stormtroopers, and hot dogs. You can add cellphones to that list. A new infographic outlines the ways that our obsession over our phones are creating some pretty drastic health problems, including a reduction in sleep which in turn boosts our risks of diabetes.

Here are some highlights:

  • 22% of people would give up brushing their teeth before giving up their phone.
  • 43% of iPhone users would give up their shoes for a week before giving up their Apple gadget.
  • 70% of women experience a phobia of losing their phones.
