Emma feels tired almost every morning. She checks her phone as soon as she wakes up, reads messages during breakfast, and scrolls through social media before bed. Her screen time is very high, and every notification makes her look at her phone again. Sometimes she wants to relax for five minutes, but she spends almost an hour online. Her phone becomes a big distraction when she studies or works.

Emma knows she should use technology more mindfully, but it is hard for her. Her doctor gives her some simple advice: “You shouldn’t use your phone for at least an hour before sleep. You don’t have to answer every message right away. But you have to take regular breaks when you work on a computer, and you should set a clear limit for your phone use.”

Emma decides to take a digital detox for one week. She starts with small changes: she turns off most notifications, puts away her phone during meals, and leaves it in another room before going to bed. At first, she feels uncomfortable because she wants to check her phone all the time. But after a few days, she sleeps better, feels calmer, and has more time for reading and walking.
