Want a better night’s sleep? Limit your #DoomScrolling before bed! A growing body of research suggests that how often people use social media before bed – and how engaged they are in it – matters more than how long they are on screens as a whole when it comes to getting restful sleep. Social psychologist and sleep researcher Brian N. Chin, from Trinity College, explains that emotionally stimulating content can lead to greater arousal that delays the onset of sleep. Small behavioral changes, such as avoiding doomscrolling and leaving your phone outside your bedroom at night, can help you get more sleep, he writes. #sleep #sleeping #SocialMedia #PersonalCare #anxiety

[en] Digital Wellbeing: Screen time has always been a poor metric

... when it comes to social media apps, it’s a really poor metric, according to ... a researcher at #Cambridge.

A #nudge ... could help billions of people stop #doomscrolling.

Researchers also have very little insight into how Apple and Google develop Screen Time and Digital Wellbeing features.

#SocialNetworks that are fed by an #algorithm are causing much harm to you. Just one example of many: karl-voit.at/2024/07/13/social

Please do convince your friends and relatives to try out a healthy alternative like the #Fediverse here: karl-voit.at/2024/06/18/Fedive

When you visit your friends and family, tell them about not having #endlessscrolling or #doomscrolling. Tell them about being able to read unfiltered comments and articles. Tell them about not destroying your mental health all the time, following some #influencers that show a wrong picture of the world and the people.

Accounts on servers like graz.social are for free. (Donations welcomed: info.graz.social/spenden/ )

Have a happy weekend!

"I hate #vibes-based reasoning, because of the kind of thinking that it elevates. It elevates the comms spad over the #macroeconomist, the reader-of-headlines over the #modeller, the use of a finger in the air over a solid think about the vast, hard-to-move #economy."

Kanbaning, Timeboxing, & Doom Scrolling

Without even realizing it, I have applied the concepts of Kanban and Timeboxing to my Social Media and RSS habits... and it appears to have helped me limit the amount of time I spend on doom scrolling.
