5 EFFECTS OF TOO MUCH SCREENTIME

Eye Strain

Digital eye strain can result from prolonged screen exposure

Sleep Disruption

The disruption of melatonin production by blue light from screens makes falling asleep harder and diminishes sleep quality

Physical Inactivity

Excessive screentime is often linked to sedentary behavior, reducing physical activity and increasing the risk of obesity

Social Isolation

Overuse of screens can lead to reduced face-to-face interactions, potentially causing social withdrawal and loneliness

Mental Health Issues

Increased screentime, particularly in excessive social media or gaming use, is associated with higher rates of anxiety, depression, and stress
