We spend most of the day looking at computer screens, tablets, and cell phones. Aren’t you tired of looking at screens all day, every day? I am too!
Too much screen time can cause headaches, eye strain and irregular sleep patterns. It’s important to give your brain and your eyes a break.
Here are a few helpful tips:
- Take breaks (Sit and close your eyes for a moment. Relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea.)
- Turn off notifications (So you’re not tempted to open apps each time you pick up your device)
- Adjust screen brightness (To prevent eye strain)
- Set a cut off time for the day (To prevent mindless scrolling through social media apps)
Remember, whatever you are working on will be there in the next hour or even tomorrow. Give your brain a break (or several) today.
