Importance of Limiting Screen Time
There are several reasons to limit the time you are in front of a screen (especially computers, cell phones, etc). In today’s world, people are spending over seven hours a day on average looking at screens, whether watching T.V., working on computers, scrolling through social media, gaming or streaming content.
Here are some suggestions for adding healthy guidelines into your screen time:
Set screen-free times:
Designate specific times for no screens, such as during meals and for an hour before bedtime to improve sleep quality.
Create screen-free zones:
Make certain areas of your home, like the dinner table or bedrooms, free from devices to encourage connection and focus.
Turn off notifications:
Limit interruptions from messages and social media by turning off non-essential notifications.
Prioritize Offline Activities
Encourage alternative activities:
Offer and participate in activities that don't involve screens, such as reading books, playing sports, walking, pursuing healthy hobbies..
Schedule family time:
Plan family activities and make a conscious effort to engage with each other without devices getting in the way.
Stay active:
Incorporate physical activity into your day to prevent a sedentary lifestyle often associated with excessive screen time.
Use the 20-20-20 rule:
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

It would be a lot easier to study the science of dreaming if we weren’t asleep every time we did it. Why do we dream? What does dreaming do for our brains? How did dreaming evolve? Here’s a look at the current theories from psychology and neuroscience.
