Screen Time, Sunshine & Serotonin: Balancing Mood and Brain Health in a Digital World
Excessive screen time disrupts natural light signals, lowering serotonin and impairing sleep, mood, and focus in both kids and adults. Morning sunlight exposure and strategic digital breaks help reset circadian rhythms and boost serotonin levels. Integrating blue-light filters, tech-free zones, and light therapy tools like BrainTap supports clearer thinking, emotional balance, and restorative sleep. Small, intentional shifts—outdoor time, screen limits, and mindful evening routines—can transform digital overload into healthy brain rhythms.
