Yes i agree with you.
Our brain needs a rest too.
Constant scrolling, especially on social media or news feeds, overloads the brain with rapid, fragmented information. This can lead to reduced attention span, impaired memory retention, and increased mental fatigue. The dopamine hits from new content can create addictive loops, making it harder to focus on deeper tasks. Over time, this habit may increase anxiety, disrupt sleep, and reduce the brain’s capacity for critical thinking and sustained concentration.

Yes, prolonged scrolling, particularly social media and digital contents, can cause significant negative impact on the brain and overall mental well-being. It reduces our attention span and focus and leads to potential addiction. Setting a screen time limit and engaging in healthier activities would help us in getting things under control.
It really feels like you’re relaxing, but nonstop scrolling is frying your brain. Shorter attention span, anxiety spikes, sleep ruined and you’re basically hooked on dopamine hits.
Well said!
We have to limit screen time but it can be challenging initially, but it’s worth it. Instead of scrolling, we can spend quality time with parents, children, pets, go for walks, and explore other activities.
