Managing Screen Time
Phones, computers, and TVs are a big part of life today. While screens are useful, too much time on them can harm our health.
Problems With Too Much Screen Time
Spending long hours on screens can cause eye strain, poor sleep, and less time for exercise. It may also affect our mood.
Ways To Reduce Screen Time
- Take breaks every hour
- Use apps to track screen use
- Spend more time outdoors
- Avoid screens before bed
“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” – Anne Lamott
Healthy Balance
- Set a limit on daily screen use
- Replace screen time with hobbies like reading or sports
- Use screens for learning, not just scrolling
Less screen use improves sleep, allows more time for exercise, and supports better mental health.
