About Disconnect to Reconnect: The Screen Time Challenge
This podcast's focus is to help listeners disconnect from their screens and engage more in the real world. With screens all around us it can be difficult to unplug. Listen in to this podcast to learn the dangers of excessive screen time as well as ways to manage your screen time and improve your productivity and discipline.
This is the final episode of this podcast. In this episode I express my appreciation for the project as well as what I've learned from it. Shout-out Professor Gilbert. Thank you so much.

Episode 5: Screen Time Connected to Poor Sleep and Lack of Energy
This episode is slightly different than the others. There is one main point, and I explore 3 different sources to back me up. The articles were "Doing Nothing Can Make You More Productive", "Why You Should Ditch Your Phone Before Bed", and "How Electronics Affect Sleep". I talked about our phones distracting us before bed, the effects of blue light, melatonin decreases, how your screens stimulate you before bed, the importance of nightly routines, and more. Follow along with me by accessing the articles with these links(they are in the order listed above):
