Have you ever noticed how once you sit down in the evening to look at just a few things on Instagram or TikTok and consequently end up scrolling social media for an hour or more till you’re completely devoid of energy and getting back up to do anything else seems impossible? That’s because the information and stimuli overload from social media causes paralyzing mental fatigue. In addition, excessive screen time can contribute to increased stress and anxiety and disrupt your sleep patterns, leading to insufficient rest. So, your best bet is to limit or completely cut out your social media consumption, especially in the evenings.
