## Resource

New research reveals the average person spends seven hours a day glued to screens—phones, computers, TVs—and that number’s climbing fast. Driven by streaming, social media, and remote work, our digital immersion is reshaping how we live, work, and connect. But the cost? Eye strain, sleep issues, mental health struggles—and deeper concerns about long-term effects on kids’ brains and adults’ social skills. Screens offer convenience, but we’re learning we need to reclaim balance before we lose ourselves in the glow. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
