The Impact of Doom Scrolling on Rest
DOOM scrolling, frequently experienced during rest time, negatively impacts our mood and prevents true relaxation. Excessive time spent on social media or consuming negative content leads to emotional depletion rather than rejuvenation, termed as depletion burnout. To combat this, it's suggested to identify activities that truly recharge energy, distinguishing them from energy-draining habits like aimless scrolling and binge-watching.
