7. Quality Sleep and Digital Detox
Sleep is the body’s natural repair system. Lack of quality sleep increases stress, irritability, and poor decision-making. Research shows adults need 7–9 hours of sleep for optimal mental health.
To improve sleep:
- Avoid screens 1 hour before bed.
- Maintain a consistent sleep schedule.
- Try relaxation techniques or herbal teas before bedtime.
Additionally, taking short digital detox breaks during the day—stepping away from phones, laptops, and constant notifications—helps reduce stress and mental fatigue.
