The government has announced a ban on some social media platforms for under-16s. It's a move that echoes a similar ban introduced by the Australian government, which came into effect in December. So what are teens actually looking at on social media? And will a ban help? This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

Is brain rot caused by screen time just a Gen Z problem — or does it affect everyone supporting those living with dementia? The term brain rot was coined by Henry David Thoreau in 1854 to describe the preference for simple ideas over complex ones. Today, endless scrolling and passive screen time have made it a modern epidemic — and it has real implications for dementia care. In this episode, Teepa Snow and Greg Phelps explore the difference between passive observation and active engagement, why that distinction matters for people living with brain change, and how care partners can use conversation, curiosity, and connection to stimulate meaningful interaction. You'll learn: Why passive TV watching and internet scrolling look similar in the brain — and why that matters How active conversation creates cognitive demand that passive media simply can't What care partners can do differently to encourage real engagement How Positive Approach to Care® courses and video resources can help you build true engagement skills Whether you're supporting at home or in a facility, the tools you use to connect make a difference. This episode will change how you think about screen time — for your person, and for yourself. Ready to build real engagement skills? Positive Approach to Care® Champion Courses give you practical, hands-on tools to connect more meaningfully with those you're supporting — and skill demonstration is required, not just course completion.

Sometimes you doomscroll, sometimes the doom scrolls you. This week Ian presents new evidence to back his argument that we are, in fact, doomed. We love you!

It starts with one scroll… and before you know it, you're overwhelmed, anxious, and mentally drained. So, what's really happening to us in this always changing world? We bring together psychology and workplace insight to unpack doomscrolling, global stress, and how to build healthier ways of staying informed.

Warum sind wir eigentlich ständig beschäftigt, aber trotzdem nie wirklich fertig? Zwischen To-Do-Listen, E-Mail-Inbox, Slack, Kalendern, Social Media und den berühmten Man-müsste-mal-Aufgaben entsteht schnell das Gefühl, dass Produktivität vor allem aus Reagieren besteht. Genau hier setzen wir an und sprechen darüber, warum Zeitmanagement oft gar kein Zeitmanagement ist, sondern Selbstverwaltung, Priorisierung und ein ziemlich ehrlicher Blick auf den eigenen Alltag.In dieser Episode ist Dirk Deimeke zu Gast, Systems Engineer bei der Swisscom, Open-Source-Enthusiast, Podcaster und Buchautor. Mit ihm diskutieren wir Methoden wie Getting Things Done, Inbox Zero, Time-Blocking, Eat the Frog und die Zwei-Minuten-Regel. Wir sprechen über Doomscrolling, Digital Wellbeing, Benachrichtigungen, persönliche To-Do-Systeme, Notizen-Chaos, Kalenderpflege und die Frage, warum Tools selten das eigentliche Problem lösen. Außerdem geht es um Gewohnheiten, Reviews, Overcommitment, Stressbewältigung, Work-Life-Balance für Wissensarbeit und darum, wie du einen Methoden-Mix findest, der wirklich zu deinem Workflow passt.Wenn du dich schon mal gefragt hast, wie du fokussierter arbeitest, weniger vergisst, bewusster priorisierst und trotz Job, Side Projects, Open Source, Podcast, Familie oder Tech Community nicht komplett im Task-Berg versinkst, dann ist diese Folge für dich. Oder anders gesagt: Vielleicht brauchst du kein neues Tool, sondern nur den Mut, mal einen Task zu löschen.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

1.500 Kommentare und zwei Welten; Der Tod von Social Media und der „Du hast recht“-Button.  Chris bringt ein Thema mit, das harmlos beginnt und dann nicht mehr loslässt: Die Late Show mit Stephen Colbert wurde abgesetzt und Chris hat getan, was er sich sonst verbietet: Kommentare gelesen. Unter einem Artikel der New York Times, 1.500 Stück. 90 Prozent Dankbarkeit, 10 Prozent reines Vitriol, dazwischen nichts. Zwei Lager, die nicht bloß anderer Meinung sind, sondern auf völlig verschiedenen Realitätsgrundlagen zu stehen scheinen. Wie kann man so eindeutig gegen jemanden sein, den man selbst als zugewandt erlebt? Und warum begünstigt das Medium diese Schere? Wir landen schnell bei der These: Kommentarspalten sind gar kein Dialog. Sie sind Kabinen nebeneinander, in die jeder seine isolierte Ansicht kritzelt – „hier bin ich, friss oder stirb". Chris hat ein „Dopamin-Brain": LinkedIn, ein Feed, der ihn depressiv zurücklässt, ein Doomscrolling, dem er kaum entkommt. Alex bringt die Perspektive der Systeme dazu: Diese Spalten existieren nicht aus Versehen, sie verlängern die Verweildauer und füttern die Ads. Algorithmen sind wie eine unaufgeräumte Ecke. Nur, dass jemand ununterbrochen Müll hineinwirft. Uns beschäftigt Chris‘ Favorit, Jason Kottkes Blog, als einer der letzten Safe Spaces im Netz, die Frage, ob die Tagesschau überhaupt Kommentare braucht und die Rücksichtslosigkeit bei Meta und Co. Warum gute Regeln nicht das Gegenteil von Freiheit sind, sondern ihr Schutz. Denn im rechtsfreien Raum gewinnen die, die sich am wenigsten erlauben zu fragen, wem sie schaden.  Am Ende bleibt ein leiser Verlust: Vielleicht haben wir ein Medium verloren. Die Möglichkeit ehrlicher, leiser, auch mal mondäner Kommunikation im Netz. Vielleicht finden wir es ja wieder. Schön wäre es. Bis dahin: Klebt eure Kommentare gern auf einen Zettel an den Bildschirm, wir lesen mit.

Don't Hate, Cultivate: Turning Negativity Into Community Help   Juan reflects on how easy and even enjoyable it can be to "hate" or judge others—citing examples like comic book movies, social media, the news, and everyday relationships—but argues it's ultimately unsatisfying. Inspired by a "Don't hate, cultivate" shirt from Cultivate Coffee in Phoenix, they propose cultivating as a remedy: creating, connecting, referring others, supporting events, and helping "the helpers," echoing Mr. Rogers' idea of looking for helpers during crises. They emphasize that small acts—showing up, donating, introducing people, borrowing sugar from neighbors to build mutual support—strengthen community and reduce envy, fear, and doomscrolling. The call to action is to ask how you can help, ask for help yourself, and redirect negative energy into constructive action or support for someone you trust.   00:00 Are You a Hater 00:35 Why Hating Feels Good 01:02 Dont Hate Cultivate 02:00 Cultivating Through Referrals 02:45 Look for the Helpers 04:41 Doomscrolling and Outrage 06:03 It Takes a Village 06:47 Neighbor Sugar Story 07:59 Ask for Help Too 08:19 Flip Hate Into Action 09:06 Final Sendoff  

Was hilft gegen Doomscrolling? Rote Pandas! Aber zwischen all diesen roten Pandas müssen wir über diese Dinge sprechen. Zum Beispiel darüber, dass, obwohl Meta letzte Woche angekündigt hat, die Probleme mit ihrem Chatbot und willkürlichen Account-Takeovers und -Sperrungen langsam in den Griff zu kriegen, es nicht wirklich danach aussieht. Über den SpaceX-IPO. Und darüber, dass Bluesky jetzt mehr so werden möchte, wie Reddit. Wieso auch immer. Dann doch lieber rote Pandas. ➡️ Die offene Erklärung für ein europäisches Social Web: https://european.social ➡️ Qwant-Ergebnisseite für Rote Pandas: https://www.qwant.com/?l=de&t=images&q=roter+panda ➡️ Mit der "Haken Dran"-Community ins Gespräch kommen könnt ihr am besten im Discord: http://hakendran.org

Are you constantly angry or exhausted? The content you consume acts as your internal weather, and a toxic mental diet is quietly destroying your reality. Based on the show notes from "Be careful of your mental diet", your brain cannot tell the difference between your real life and online outrage.Doomscrolling black pill forums or political cycles locks your nervous system into permanent fear. By auditing your inputs and escaping these emotional traps, you will completely rewrite your daily state.VIDEOS TO WATCH NEXT:Watch this playlist to figure out how to fix your failing marriage: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXcvFDdRqPuu_G8-sTLS7eXT7myvidMFWatch this playlist to help you get over your ex for good: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXcvFDdRqPsZ9JCTSAIkin-oMnavqNJZWatch this playlist to develop an unshakable frame and take control of your life: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXcvFDdRqPvgN8idHfGfOp3gA8Y0tMxT&si=NccZ6koKYz3hSuUz--------------------------------------------FREE EBOOKS➡️ She's Made You Weak: https://ebook.fixdeadbedrooms.com➡️ Fine...

Hi Parents! In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Erica Rozmid, a board-certified clinical psychologist and expert in evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT, to explore the impact of social media and screen time on teen mental health. Together, we dive into the growing concern of doomscrolling and how constant exposure to negative content, comparison, and information overload can contribute to anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and low mood in teens. Dr. Rozmid introduces the powerful concept of shifting from “tech monitoring” to “tech mentoring,” helping parents move beyond simply limiting screen time and instead guide their teens toward healthier, more mindful technology use. We explore how parents can recognize when social media use is becoming problematic, what warning signs to look for, and how to support teens in breaking the cycle of excessive scrolling without creating power struggles. This conversation also highlights the importance of modelling healthy digital habits as parents and creating a home environment where technology supports well-being rather than undermines it. If you're feeling concerned about your teen's relationship with screens, social media, or their mental health, this episode offers practical tools, expert insights, and a more connected, supportive approach to navigating the digital world together.

Viele Menschen sagen: „Montag ist der schlimmste Tag der Woche." Warum eigentlich? Montag ist genauso wie Dienstag, Mittwoch, Donnerstag, Freitag, Samstag oder Sonntag. Jeder Tag ist genau das, was du daraus machst. Je schneller du das erkennst, desto leichter wird dein Leben. Jeder Tag schenkt dir 24 Stunden. Jede Woche schenkt dir 168 Stunden voller Chancen und Möglichkeiten. Nutze diese Zeit bewusst. Sie ist eines der wertvollsten Geschenke, die wir überhaupt haben. Ich bin für jeden Tag dankbar. Denn es ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit, morgens aufzuwachen und einen neuen Tag erleben zu dürfen. Viele Menschen, die wir kannten, sind heute nicht mehr da. Und wir wissen nie, wie lange wir selbst bleiben dürfen. Genau deshalb ist es so wichtig, jeden Tag bewusst zu leben. Frag dich regelmäßig: Bist du wirklich in deinem Leben angekommen? Bist du in deinem Flow? Tust du das, was dich glücklich macht? Wenn ja, wunderbar. Wenn nein, was musst du verändern, damit du dorthin kommst? Verbringe dein Leben nicht nur mit Social Media, Ablenkungen oder Doomscrolling. Nimm dir jeden Tag Zeit für dich. Reflektiere. Denke nach. Frage dich: Was will ich wirklich? Was ist mir wichtig? Wo soll meine Reise hingehen? Dann gehe diesen Weg konsequent. Nicht alle Menschen werden deine Entscheidungen verstehen. Nicht alle werden begeistert sein. Aber das ist nicht entscheidend. Entscheidend ist, dass du glücklich bist. Denn Glück entsteht nicht durch äußere Umstände. Es entsteht in dir. Du bist verantwortlich für dein Glück. Niemand sonst. Wer das verstanden hat, hat bereits einen wichtigen Schlüssel für ein erfülltes Leben gefunden. Viele Menschen sagen: „Ich habe vor ..." „Ich plane ..." „Irgendwann werde ich ..." Doch oft bleibt es genau dabei. Deshalb: Hör auf zu warten. Fang an. Heute. Jetzt. Denn niemand weiß, ob morgen überhaupt noch kommt. Kenne deine Ziele. Wisse, warum du sie erreichen möchtest. Und überlege dir auch, welche Menschen dich auf deinem Weg begleiten sollen. Zum Leben gehört ebenso, Dinge loszulassen, die dir nicht guttun. Die Frage ist ganz einfach: Tut es mir gut? Mehr davon. Tut es mir nicht gut? Weg damit. Je klarer du hier wirst, desto leichter und glücklicher wird dein Leben. Wenn du das wirklich verinnerlichst, hältst du einen der wichtigsten Schlüssel für ein erfülltes Leben in der Hand. Ich wünsche dir maximalen Erfolg, ganz viel Freude und vor allem: Enjoy your life! #Montag #Motivation #Glück #Erfolg #Dankbarkeit #Persönlichkeitsentwicklung #Mindset #Podcast #Lebensfreude #Flow #Selbstverantwortung #Lebensziele #ErnstCrameri #Ergebnisorientiert Hier findest du eine Übersicht aller aktuellen Seminare  https://crameri.de/Seminare Bild: 9.

America's a funny place. It's not a country with a fixed geographic or religious identity. We don't have a common story of divine creation. "What we have," writes Ben Rhodes in his new book, ⁠All We Say⁠, "are words." The words of the founding documents, yes — but also "the words of speeches spoken by Americans who call us to be that better version of ourselves." Ben has spent more time with great American speeches than just about anyone. For eight years, he was a speechwriter in the Obama White House, crafting some of the defining oratory of the era. His new book is a 250-year tour through 15 speeches that built the country, challenged it, and raised its sights. He tells us how FDR changed the course of WWII from behind the lectern, how MLK ad-libbed one of the most famous lines in American history, and what Obama's 2008 speech about race can teach today's politicians about storytelling. And he makes the case that America needs great oratory now more than it has in a long time.

We're back — and this time, with intention.In this first episode we're diving straight into something that may be quietly keeping you from everything God has called you to: doomscrolling.Proverbs 4:23-27 tells us to guard our hearts above all else — but how can we do that when we're constantly drowning it out with noise, distractions, and endless scrolling? In this episode, we talk honestly about how the habit of consuming content non-stop can block your ability to hear from the Holy Spirit, walk in your purpose, and experience the healing God has for you.This is your sign to put the phone down and tune back in — to God, to yourself, and to your calling.

Are you doomscrolling? Here's how to H.O.P.E. ⚓ by Fr. Michael Denk

The News Is Broken—And It's Breaking Your Brain BREAKING NEWS!” Every alert is urgent. Every headline is a crisis. Every story is supposedly the end of the world. But what if the real problem isn't the news… it's the way the news is built? Today on The Karel Show, we dive into the nonstop outrage machine that modern media has become. Fear, anger, panic, urgency—it's all engineered to keep you watching, clicking, doom-scrolling and emotionally exhausted. Are we finally tuning out because the news itself is broken? We'll look at today's biggest headlines and ask: * Which stories truly matter? * Which are manufactured outrage? * And how much of “breaking news” is actually broken journalism? Also: Primm, Nevada—the once-iconic stop between Las Vegas and California—is becoming a modern ghost town. So what killed it? Bad planning? Changing travel habits? Corporate greed? We'll break down the slow collapse of a desert landmark. And the Pope issues a massive warning about Artificial Intelligence in a 43,000-word address—and the tech world immediately shrugs it off. Is the Vatican overreacting… or seeing something Silicon Valley refuses to admit? The Karel Show streams live Monday through Thursday at 10:30 AM PST.

Kriege, Krisen, Katastrophen: Wer einmal anfängt, schlechte Nachrichten auf dem Smartphone zu lesen, hört oft schwer wieder auf. Dafür gibt es mittlerweile einen Namen: "Doomscrolling". Damit gemeint, endloses Scrollen von einer schlechten Nachricht zur nächsten. Warum bleiben wir besonders an negativen Nachrichten hängen, obwohl wir doch merken, es tut uns nicht gut? Darum geht es in dieser Folge von "Aha! Zehn Minuten Alltagswissen" gemeinsam mit dem Professor für Cognitive and Brain Sciences Christian Montag von der University of Macau. Danach geht es in der kleinen Alltagsfrage um die schwarzen Punkte an den Rändern von Fenstern in Bussen und Bahnen: Denn wozu sind die da? Hier geht es zu einer Studie zum Thema Existenzsangst und Doomscrolling: “Doomscrolling evokes existential anxiety and fosters pessimism about human nature?

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are still living their best lives in Portugal… although Pete's ego may have taken a slight battering after a disastrous mixed doubles tennis tournament against a group of senior citizens who absolutely wiped the floor with him. Abbey wastes no time exposing exactly what went wrong, including Pete's “respectful” approach that spectacularly backfired.The couple also dive into one of the biggest causes of relationship tension — diary planning. From golf days and family logistics to who really controls the calendar at home, Abbey explains why every single plan now has to go through Claire before marital chaos erupts. Plus, the gang discuss relationship “icks”, going upstairs two at a time, hobbies couples should definitely keep separate, and whether Oasis officially counts as “Dad Rock”.Elsewhere, Abbey reveals her surprising obsession with David Beckham's vegetable garden and chickens, Peter reminisces about Oasis nostalgia and Desert Island albums, and the team debate what books and music they'd take if stranded forever. There's also talk of reality TV habits, holiday advice, and why some things are simply better enjoyed without your partner.00:00 Portugal Detox & Party Recovery 01:14 Peter Gets Humbled At Tennis 03:00 “Consistency Is Key In Tennis” 04:31 Ross Update & Listener Messages 04:58 Abbey Hates Seeing Pete Lose 05:26 Abbey's Fear Of Tennis Lessons 06:27 Abbey Opens Up About Childhood & Sport 07:20 Abbey vs Peter: Ultimate Sports Day 08:31 The Couple Argument Everyone Has 10:11 Abbey's Strict Family Diary System 12:03 Why Busy Couples Always Clash 12:49 The Weirdest Relationship Ick 13:28 Running Up Stairs Debate 15:14 Abbey Reveals Her Biggest Insecurity 15:45 Abbey Discovers A “Normal” Listener 16:26 Abbey's Celebrity Lookalike Debate 18:05 Couples Sharing Hobbies Goes Wrong 19:14 TV Shows They Refuse To Watch Together 20:37 Hunger Games & Comfort Movies 21:39 The Best Holiday Advice Ever 22:52 Tail's.com Ad Read 24:28 Desert Island Dilemmas Begin 25:35 The One Book They'd Save Forever 27:31 Roald Dahl & Childhood Reading Memories 28:07 Abbey's Disturbing Book Confession 30:15 The Secret To Getting Kids Reading 30:55 Desert Island Albums 31:41 Oasis, Nostalgia & Dad Rock Arguments 34:04 Abbey's Beckham Garden Obsession 35:34 Doomscrolling & “Ignorance Is Bliss” 36:19 Peter's James Bond Fantasy Life 36:40 Peter's Visit To Eton 37:49 Inside Eton's Incredible Traditions 39:15 What Makes Privileged Kids Different? 41:02 The Reality Of Elite Schools 42:40 The Team Debate Luxury & Success 44:18 What They'd Actually Miss On A Desert Island 46:03 Desert Island Guilty Pleasures 47:51 Holiday Packing Essentials 49:20 Things Couples Secretly Judge Each Other For 51:08 Their Most Addictive Habits 52:44 Listener Dilemmas Return 54:33 Final Portugal Reflections 56:17 EndTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouchWebsite: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

Most of us are walking around in a low-grade state of fight-or-flight all the time, and we don't even realize it. It looks like the tight jaw in the morning, the exhaustion that doesn't lead to sleep, or the feeling of being on edge even on a good day.  These are signs of a nervous system that never got the signal that it's safe to come down. In this episode, I'm sharing a lesson from my new free video course called Everything is Terrible: An Anxiety Toolkit for the Age of Doomscrolling. It's a five-lesson toolkit for people who care deeply about the world and are quietly exhausted by the weight of it. Each lesson is a standalone tool you can use when you need it. This episode shares an excerpt from one of these lessons, covering: -What's actually happening in your body when you're stuck in fight-or-flight -How to manually activate your parasympathetic nervous system even when the external world is still chaotic -Two specific breathing techniques you can use anywhere to send your body the "all clear" signal -Grounding phrases for when your body has settled but your brain is still spinning. Check out the full Everything is Terrible toolkit FREE on my Substack.

In this episode, I sit down with health and fitness coach Brian Bidanjiri to talk about the deeper side of transformation — the part most people avoid. We get into his journey from alcoholism, emotional eating, and smoking weed daily to losing nearly 100 pounds and rebuilding his life through fitness, structure, and self-awareness. But this conversation goes far beyond weight loss. We talk about using food for comfort, dopamine addiction, doom scrolling, emotional avoidance, relationships, identity, and why so many people stay stuck even when they "know what to do." If you've ever felt like you're constantly distracting yourself, negotiating with yourself, or looking for comfort instead of actually dealing with what's underneath… this episode will hit home.    Brian's IG: https://www.instagram.com/brian.bidanjiri/?g=5   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

Scrolling. Porn. Gaming. Junk food.It all feels different, but it's the same loop.Short hits. No effort. No progress.You're not stuck because you're weak. You're stuck because your environment and habits are built to keep you there.Change the inputs, change the behaviour.Less friction to do the right things. More friction to do the wrong ones.That's where control comes from.In this audio I break down how to reset that loop and take your focus back.You can also watch it here: https://youtu.be/k3p1sbrWiLw

“Much of what we experience while scrolling the news is actually grief trying to move through the body.”How do we stay present to the world's suffering without being swallowed by it? In this episode, we explore the very real tension of living everyday life while absorbing constant global distress. From doomscrolling and body tension to the quiet pressure to stay informed, this conversation names what so many are feeling but struggle to articulate.We talk about how grief shows up physically in the body, why your nervous system responds the way it does to ongoing crisis, and how to practice what I call responsible distance. You'll walk away with simple, grounded ways to stay compassionate and engaged without overwhelming your capacity to keep showing up.Links + Resources from this episode:MandyCapehart.com/coachingAround the Circle: National GriefPolyvagal Theory overview with Deb DanaGet the workbook for more on doomscrolling management

In this special double-feature episode, the hosts get real about the emotional toll of doomscrolling and existential anxiety—and how each of them copes. From taking intentional breaks from social media, to grounding breathwork, to finding comfort through prayer, each host shares her personal approach to lightening the weight of the world.In the second half, Claire, Laurie, and Anna reflect on recent trips that offered both escape and perspective. Whether traveling familiar paths or plunging into the unexpected, these getaways provided more than rest—they reshaped how each host approaches stress, presence, and perspective back home.Join Anna, Claire, and Laurie as they connect the dots between travel, mental well-being, and resilience, proving that sometimes a change of scenery can make all the difference—unless your version of relaxation includes a party boat and a group sing-along to “Sweet Caroline.” Then all bets are off. Or not.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We talk about something that feels almost counter-cultural today: the power of slowing down. From Fr. Fadi's beautiful multi-course Italian dinner for the Bishop to the everyday grind most of us live in, we explore how constant work, hustle culture, and “rise and grind” thinking are quietly harming our faith, families, and peace of mind. We unpack why true leisure isn't laziness—it's actually one of the most human and Christian things we can do. We discuss "Babette's Feast," how shared meals have shaped Christian culture for centuries, the beauty of real conversation and presence, and why the Sabbath is meant to be a protest against the worship of work and money. We also get honest about the struggle: busy parents, priest life, economic pressures, and how hard it is to break the habit of constant busyness. Featuring: Fr. Simon Esshaki, Fr. Andy Younan, Fr.

Matt introduces "doomscrolling," linking compulsive online consumption to worsened sleep and mental health. He tracks social media's rise (1997-2016), noting increased addiction. By 2016, 82% of 12th graders spent six hours daily online, often at sleep's expense. Matt also highlights heightened psychological distress in adolescent girls due to comparison-focused platforms.Noting that "doomscrolling" is tied to FOMO, addiction, and distress, he describes a bidirectional loop: poor sleep drives doomscrolling, intensifying depression, further degrading sleep. Challenging the blue light myth, Matt shows minimal sleep onset delay. And identifies cognitive/emotional arousal and the FOMO-rumination-procrastination cycle as true disruptors. He concludes with practical interventions: usage caps, phone-free bedrooms, and consistent cutoff times.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Clean biological living requires precision.

A large-scale and delicate system of ocean currents that has been active for millions of years and that's responsible for our warm climate is in danger of collapse due to climate change. This is according to a new study published in April in the journal Science Advances. If that collapse actually happens, scientists warn, the consequences could be dire. Shane Elipot, a physical oceanographer at the University of Miami and one of the authors of the study, joins The Excerpt to share his findings.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.
