Digital Detox Weekends

A 2022 study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology found that one week of reduced social media use significantly decreased anxiety and depression scores. Separate research from the University of Bath showed that even a single weekend offline improved well-being, sleep quality, and reduced FOMO paradoxically. The average person checks their phone 96 times per day — stepping away for 48 hours recalibrates your dopamine baseline. The hardest part is the first four hours.
