Aidan Krantz Digital Detox and Reflection

For the digital detox I choose to try out number 2 (Designate Tech-Free Times) I choose that option because I often find myself spending and expended amount of time on my phone on right before sleeping. This sometimes can have an effect on how much sleep I am getting, as it can take me a longer time to fall asleep when I do. I was very curious to see if staying off my phone an hour before I wanted to fall asleep would have an effect. I started this detox on Tuesday night and ended it on Saturday. Overall I would say that I saw a positive effect on my sleep. Although throughout the week, the times that I made it to bed would change. Even without being on my phone an for an hour, the time I went to bed would also effect how fast I fell asleep. Even with that, on most nights I would fall asleep much faster than I would originally. In the future I would like to continue to practice this detox because it is definitely a healthy practice. I can see this being beneficial for nights when I know I have an important day ahead of me and could use some better sleep. I am glad that I practiced this detox because it has made me realize that being on my phone before bed has a negative effect on the amount and quality of sleep I am getting.

  1. We all know that sleep is very important, so the fact that you were able to discover that this practice leads to better sleep could be very beneficial. It’s great to hear that you not only felt like you slept better, but that you were also able to fall asleep faster. I’m not sure that it would be the most practical to do this every day, but I really like your idea of doing it when you know you have a big day ahead the next day.
