Coming up after the break, good news for you and also me.
The television might not be rotting our brains after all.
There is a new scientific paper out that says zoning out, scrolling using a screen, even gaming after you get home from work could actually help you, help you recover from stress.
Yes, really.
That's science in a minute.
Have you had a long, stressful day at work?
Well, go ahead, kick back, watch some TV.
It might help, I promise.
Why?
Because the science says your brain-dead couch time might actually be preventing you from having burnout.
Don't believe me?
Well, I'm here with someone who's researched just this.
Her name is Sue Minto, and she's an organizational behavior professor at the University of Toronto, Mississauga.
Sue, welcome to the show.
So we're constantly told, and I've had academics on who've done studies on this, we're constantly told that screen time is bad for us.
Full stop.
But something had to make you think, wait, maybe zoning out, staring at a TV or phone might actually help somebody, like recover from workplace stress.
So what made you suspect that?
Before we get to screens and burnout, what do we mean when we say recovery after a hard day at work?
I think we all know what the word recovery means, but what do we really need after a particularly stressful day at work when we're unwinding at home?
