Unlocked

The Real Science of Screen Time (and how to spend it better)
Book • 2024
In 'Unlocked', Professor Pete Etchells examines the latest research on screen time and its effects on health, sleep, and relationships.

He challenges common myths about the harmful effects of screens and social media, suggesting that the correlations between screen time and negative outcomes are often weak.

The book provides practical advice on how to establish a positive relationship with digital technology and argues that screens are an integral part of modern life that should not be feared or guilt-tripped about.
