Digital Detox Strategy

Meaning

A Digital Detox Strategy is a deliberate, structured plan to temporarily or permanently reduce engagement with digital devices and screen-based media to mitigate their negative physiological and psychological effects. This intervention is clinically relevant because excessive digital exposure, particularly in the evening, disrupts the circadian rhythm and contributes to central nervous system hyperarousal. Implementing this strategy is crucial for restoring the natural sleep-wake cycle and reducing the chronic, low-level stress associated with constant connectivity and information overload.
