Spending too much time on screens, especially on social media, can lead to higher levels of anxiety, depression, and lower life satisfaction.
Setting aside time for activities such as reading, outdoor adventures, or hanging out with friends can boost your mood, get you moving more, and strengthen your relationships.
This not only helps you rely less on screens but also encourages you to be more mindful and engaged in the real world, striking a healthier balance between online and offline life.
Benefits:
- Research indicates that spending meaningful time in person with family and friends strengthens relationships more than just talking online.
- Reducing screen time before bed can help you sleep better. Screens emit blue light that can interfere with your body’s sleep-regulating hormone, melatonin, making it harder for you to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Life Hack:
- Create a nightly routine of unplugging from screens at least an hour before bedtime to improve sleep quality. Limit your screen time to less than two hours a day as recommended.
