A new study warns against checking your phone right after waking up, saying it can increase stress and brain fog. Since your brain is still transitioning from sleep, it’s more vulnerable to stimulation. Experts recommend waiting at least 20 minutes before picking up your phone.
Quick tips to protect your brain:
- Wait 20 minutes before using your phone in the morning
- Avoid screens an hour before bed
- Keep a positive mindset
- Eat whole, unprocessed foods
- Try morning meditation
