Ever wonder why we can’t put our phones down? Here’s the science:
Every ping, like, and notification = a dopamine hit (the same brain chemical tied to addiction).
We’re wired for connection, social media hijacks that need, making every scroll feel like social survival.
On average, we consume 74 GB of information a day... no wonder FOMO has us hooked.
The average person checks their phone 144 times daily and nearly half of us admit we feel addicted.
The result? A brain that’s constantly rewired, affecting our sleep, focus, and mood.
Unplugging isn’t just healthy... it’s survival.
