In this episode of Shrink, the podcast for the mind, Philippe Tahon takes a closer look at a modern issue many of us face: feeling constantly tired. This isn't the kind of tiredness a nap or a coffee can fix. Instead, it's a persistent fatigue that lingers despite taking time off. Tahon suggests that our addiction to phones and digital devices is a major culprit.
He paints a vivid picture of how our constant scrolling leads to fragmented attention, emotional rollercoasters, and a brain that rarely gets a chance to rest. The episode explores how phones have become digital Swiss army knives, offering everything from news updates to social connections, yet ironically leaving us more isolated than ever. Philippe discusses the impact of phone usage on sleep quality and how it contributes to the tiredness epidemic.
He explains how screen time before bed disrupts melatonin production and affects our circadian rhythm, leading to poor sleep and increased fatigue. He also touches on how tiredness influences eating habits, prompting cravings for quick fixes like sugar and caffeine. The episode isn't all doom and gloom, though. Tahon offers practical tips for setting boundaries with technology, like creating screen-free zones before bed and engaging in mindful eating without distractions.
He encourages small shifts rather than drastic changes, making it easier for listeners to reclaim their energy and focus. If you're feeling worn out from constant digital stimulation, this episode might offer the insights you need to start making meaningful changes. Are you ready to take a break from your screen and reconnect with yourself?
