How Long Is The Best Screen Time For Us?
A few years ago, the average screen time for adults in the United States landed at 11
hours per day. Since lockdown, this number has gone up to an astonishing 19 hours per day
on screens during the pandemic.
If your phone, computer or tablets are set to send you weekly screen time reports, you
may have an idea of just how many hours you clock in with your eyes locked on a device.
About 30 percent of adults say that they're online. So, how long is the best screen time we
spend looking our phone per day? Let's discuss it.
We have to reconsider daily screen time due to several reasons. Too much screen time
is harmful for us. First, the effects of too much screen time is negatively affects our health. It
can cause insomnia dan poor sleep, eye strain and headaches, addictive behaviors, neck,
shoulder and back pain, changes in cognition, and reduced physical activity levels.
Second, experts say we should limit screen time outside of school or work to less than
two hours per day.Any time beyond that which you would typically spend on screens should
instead be spent participating in physical activity. This might not be feasible immediately, but
there's still a lot people can do to try to reduce this down. The daily screen time that more
than two hours daily can negatively change your mindset and psychology to addict to opening
your phone.
Third, the more screen time, the more electricity is used. Phone battery can last for
average 3-4 hours. If we have too much screen time, we will likely charging up our phone
more often and more electricity will be used.
Based on the arguments above, the best daily screen time is less than two hours. Two
hours screen time can prevent the harmful effect of phone addiction.
