What was your screen time last week?
Our parenting columnist describes a ‘digital hangover’ after reading her weekly phone report.
FOR MANY PEOPLE, getting through the day without picking up their phone feels almost impossible – but at what point does screen time become too much?
Our parenting columnist Niamh O’Reilly described feeling “sick” when she saw her weekly screen time report and realised she had spent over 40 hours on her phone the previous week.
While some of that time was spent on productivity or watching TV and films, she admits that nearly half of it went on social media.
It has us wondering how other people’s figures compare.
So, we’re asking: What was your screen time last week?
