Are you getting anxiety attacks these days? Do you feel sleepless at night? Do you think you are not happy with your life? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, you will learn a fantastic technique to eradicate the above-mentioned symptoms.

Many people fight with sleeplessness, anxiety, and unhappiness without knowing the cause behind them. In today’s time, if we see most people are highly involved with the digital world, they have forgotten to stay connected with nature. This disconnection with nature causes them anxiety, depression, the feeling of unhappiness, sleeplessness, and impaired mental health.

The best way to deal with it is avoiding social media, looking into others’ perfect life (on Instagramm), excessive gaming, watching endless TV series or shows, etc. Doing so will give you sufficient time to go outside of your house, hang out with people around, observe nature, and explore other real-world things. As a result, you will start feeling happy, calm, and satisfied.

What is a digital detox?

Digital detox is staying away from electronic devices like phones, television, video games, etc. It depends on an individual when they need a digital detox. But it is most important to stay away from your electronic devices, especially at the two specific times of the day. 

The two important times to take digital detox:

1. One hour after you wake up in the morning
2. One hour before going to bed

Benefits

A digital detox will help you sleep peacefully, relax the mind and body, increase concentration, maintain your focus, manage anxiety, and increase your productivity and creativity. As a result, it will improve your overall mental and physical health. 

Overindulgence of gadgets

Using electronics till late at night suppresses melatonin production, a hormone responsible for making you sleep. Keeping yourself engaged in negative posts on any social media platform, especially before sleeping at night or just after waking up in the morning, can make you feel negative and unhappy. As a result, you will feel sad, anxious, and it could lead to sleeplessness. So, try to bring a change in yourself and stop using any digital device at least one hour before going to bed and one hour after waking up in the morning. For this, disconnect yourself from the digital world and reconnect with yourself.  

Help yourself

Overindulgence with electronic devices is the primary cause of weak concentration, sleeplessness at night, headache, anxiety, etc. Stop spending your time with digital devices and spend some time with your family, garden, kitchen, reading, or any other activity like singing, meditation, playing an instrument, or whatever you love to do.

To practice digital detox, first, make your bedroom a technology-free zone and then set a reminder not to use any electronic device in the morning and evening every day. Doing so will help you deal with your addiction to phones, television, or other digital devices.
