Screen time refers to the duration spent using devices with screens, such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and televisions. This time can encompass various activities, including browsing the internet, using social media, working, gaming, and watching videos or shows.
To manage screen time, it’s important to track how often and for how long you are using these devices. Most modern devices have built-in features or apps that help monitor screen time. For instance, smartphones often have settings that show daily and weekly screen time reports, breaking down usage by app and category. Such insights can be useful for identifying usage patterns, potentially helping you adjust habits to ensure a balanced lifestyle that allows for offline activities, social interactions, and physical activities.
Healthy screen time management might involve setting limits on non-essential use, especially before bedtime, to help maintain good sleep hygiene and overall wellbeing.
