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
