Digital detox

A digital detox is a deliberate reduction in the use of digital devices like smartphones, computers, and social media platforms with the aim of reducing stress, enhancing mental wellbeing, and improving face-to-face social interactions. This practice is a reaction to worries about the addictive tendencies and disorders linked to excessive use of technology. The drive for a digital detox often stems from a wish to reestablish a connection with nature, heighten mindfulness, and boost learning capabilities by reducing distractions. Overindulgence in technology can lead to negative health impacts such as sleep disruption, eye strain, and heightened stress levels. A digital detox can also enhance relationships, as an overemphasis on technology can lead to dissatisfaction and a decline in interaction quality. A more specific version of this detox is the social media detox, where people choose to deliberately refrain from using social media.

A digital detox is a period of time when a person voluntarily refrains from using digital devices such as smartphones, computers, and social media platforms. This form of detoxification has gained popularity, as individuals have increased their time spent on digital devices and the Internet.
