In 2025, health experts are increasingly sounding the alarm over excessive screen time—and not just for children. Across all age groups, too much time spent on phones, tablets, and computers has been linked to rising rates of anxiety, poor sleep quality, and eye strain.
According to Dr. Gagan Saini and clinical psychologist Dr. Manisha Arora, simple changes can make a big difference. “Digital detox” doesn’t mean cutting all screens completely. Instead, it’s about creating healthy boundaries that help the mind and body reset.
Practical tips include:
- Making mealtimes screen-free zones to encourage conversation and mindful eating
- Setting device limits in the evenings to allow the brain to unwind before bed
- Curating what you consume—choosing uplifting, educational, or calming content over constant scrolling or doom-scrolling
These habits are low-cost and accessible to everyone, requiring no special equipment—just intention and consistency. Over time, they can improve sleep patterns, boost concentration, and support emotional wellbeing.
As screen use continues to grow in both work and leisure, building in these mindful moments has become one of the most effective and affordable ways to care for your health in today’s digital world.
