Dr. Ashley Hass

It wants that dopamine hit.

It knows.

That's like if you have it next to your bed and like when I sleep with mine next to my bed, it knows.

My brain's so smart, even though I don't acknowledge it.

It's like, hey, hey, Ashley, go ahead, pick that up.

Yeah, it just knows.

no yeah i wouldn't cut it cold turkey so i'm not an advocate of that like and i'm a professor in marketing and social media right like i study this but it's figuring out what screen time works best for you so i've noticed for myself with my anxiety levels and stress like i do really well with screen time between like two and a half and a four four and a half hours a day like that's what works for me so it's testing out what works for you you could do a digital detox day research also is showing us that like

So again, sorry on the neuroscience here, but the brain gets impacted by this and gets stressed and taxed, but it takes about four days for it to rewire.

So the same centers of the brain that light up are the same when you do things like crack and heroin, which is a little bit concerning, right?

But you can reverse that within a four-day period of detoxing it, which is a good thing.

So if that works for you, go for it.

Take a day off.

Yeah, I don't know.

I'm sure that there are that where no amount is good for you and that's okay.

Like that's your own journey.

It's really, really about knowing yourself and what's good and not good for you.

Like I know myself, I will doom scroll.

Like I just know it.

I have to have an app that helps me lock it out.

I don't think like for me, I live in a, not a new town.
