You don't need to, but it's very easy to feel the need to do so. It's like social media - yes, you don't need to check it, but you still do.

That's how I started to be so stressed out. Few downtimes in a row during 6 months in the most inconvenient moments. Short, most of them resolved themselves, but I really hated when I had to choose between helping my ill grandmother and scrambling 100km home to my work computer - even if I actually didn't have to choose because 10 minutes later it resolved itself. It was still extremely uncomfortable. Eventually, every vibration of my phone considerably increased my heart rate. Maybe I checked it so often because if I saw the notification as it came, I avoided the moment of uncertainty whether it's something bad.
