Doomscrolling Impact
Doomscrolling raises stress and harms sleep through endless negative feeds. Timers, rituals, and bedroom phone rules beat vague willpower.
Doomscrolling impact is the stress, attention fragmentation, and sleep delay from endlessly reading negative feeds—raising cortisol and delaying melatonin even when you feel numb. Boundaries like app timers, grayscale, and phone-out-of-bedroom rules outperform vague willpower.
Replace the habit with a fixed shutdown ritual.
