DISCONNECTING FROM SCREENS AND RECONNECTING WITH REAL-LIFE

TECH DETOX

Screens have been ingrained into our daily lives in today's hyperconnected world. While smartphones, laptops, and tablets have undoubtedly made life more convenient, they have also brought with them new difficulties, particularly for our mental health.

Dopamine is released in our brains as a result of the continuous interaction we have with screens. When we interact with technology, we feel good because of this neurotransmitter, which is in charge of feelings of pleasure and reward. This can eventually result in behaviors that resemble addiction, with people needing more screen time to get that fleeting rush of pleasure.

Toll on Mental Health

Excessive screen time can take a toll on our mental health. It frequently results in reduced focus, disturbed sleep patterns, strained relationships, and higher levels of stress. We risk becoming disengaged from the present and missing out on real human interactions in the pursuit of likes, shares, and notifications. The effects of technology addiction, however, don't end there.

Diminished Focus and Attention Span

Long-term screen use, particularly continuous scrolling and multitasking can greatly impair our ability to concentrate. The productivity and concentration can be hampered by this decreased attention span in a variety of spheres of life, including work and interpersonal interactions.

Disrupted Sleep Patterns 

The circadian rhythm, or natural cycle of sleep and wakefulness, is disrupted by the blue light that screens emit. It can be challenging to fall asleep and get restorative sleep if you spend too much time on screens before bed. This insufficient sleep can cause irritability and fatigue during the day.

Increased Anxiety and Stress
