Frequently Asked Questions

How much screen time is too much?
For adults, there's no official limit, but research suggests that recreational screen time over 2 hours per day is associated with poorer health outcomes. Work-related screen time is harder to reduce, but taking regular breaks (20-20-20 rule) helps mitigate effects.
What is the 20-20-20 rule?
Every 20 minutes of screen use, look at something 20 feet (6 metres) away for at least 20 seconds. This helps reduce digital eye strain, dry eyes, and headaches associated with prolonged screen use.
Does screen time affect sleep?
Yes. Blue light from screens suppresses melatonin production and can delay sleep onset. Screen use within 1-2 hours of bedtime is associated with poorer sleep quality, shorter sleep duration, and longer time to fall asleep.
What health issues are linked to excessive screen time?
Research links excessive screen time to digital eye strain, neck and back pain, poor sleep, sedentary behaviour (increasing obesity and cardiovascular risk), increased anxiety and depression symptoms, and reduced social connection quality.
