Summary
This study will test whether reducing recreational screen use to 1 hour per day for 4 weeks can improve mental well-being, sleep, and social interaction in 240 young people aged 13 to 24. Participants will either cut their screen time or continue as usual, and researchers will track changes using questionnaires and wearable devices. The goal is to see if a simple digital detox can make a real difference in everyday life.
