Screen fatigue is real — here's how we unplug at the end of the day
Share
If you spend your day in front of a laptop and your evening in front of a phone, you already know the feeling: eyes that feel dry and heavy, a head that won't quite quiet down.
Give your eyes real breaks
The classic advice — every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds — is popular because it's easy and it works. Set a reminder until it becomes a habit.
Warm, don't strain
At the end of the day, warmth around the eyes feels a lot better than another screen. This is exactly the moment an eye massager earns its place on the nightstand.
Put a hard stop on the day
Pick a time when screens go away and something calmer takes over — a warm light, a few pages of a book, ten quiet minutes. The point isn't perfection. It's a consistent line between 'on' and 'off'.
General wellbeing tips, not medical advice. If eye discomfort persists, see a professional.
