News Diet Stress Habit
A news diet stress habit limits headlines to one short daily window so threat scrolling does not keep your nervous system idling from wake to bedtime.
A news diet stress habit caps headline exposure to a fixed daily window—often fifteen minutes after lunch—not scattered checks that keep your threat system idling from dawn through bedtime. Batch trusted sources, skip comment threads, and end with one actionable step or none at all.
Morning news before your cortisol routine often primes irritability for the whole commute. Evening scrolling trades sleep depth for helplessness.
Common questions
-
How much news is enough for a stress diet?
Ten to twenty focused minutes from one or two reliable sources beats hourly push alerts. If you cannot stop at the timer, remove apps and use a desktop-only window.
