Digital Detox is Important says Dr Amit Solanki | Indore

One of the biggest challenges of most people today is digital detox referring to staying away from electronic devices paired with the internet, for some time. Eye Specialist and Director Shanti EyeTech says it can reduce stress, calm you down, and improve health. However, as most of us don't know what to do other than checking phones whenever we get a few seconds of break, phone addiction is a calamity that has consumed all of us. 

Some Tips-
Scheduled time outs- Pick a specific time of the day during which you would be gadget-free. 

Use just one device- Many millennials have more than one phone or gadget for multiple purposes, like making calls, watching films, reading books, listening to music, and more.

Turn off push notifications-Push notifications are the main culprits that drag up to our devices. If you can allocate time to check the updates on important sites/apps rather than keeping yourself a slave to them, you can save that time to indulge in productive activities

Delete distracting apps-Every phone user has apps that steal the majority of their productive time - be it news or movie apps, music notifiers, games, et all.

Keep devices away from your bedroom- 
Health experts say it's unhealthy to let the rays from gadgets enter your eyes, especially soon after you wake up and before you go to bed. It can ruin your sleep quality and also hamper your eyesight in the long run.
