Why Managing Teen Screen Time is Important
Excessive screen time can affect sleep, focus, and physical health in teens. Using devices for more than 3–4 hours a day can increase the risk of eye strain, digital fatigue, and disrupted circadian rhythms. Monitoring screen time helps promote balanced digital habits.
How the Calculator Works
Our calculator estimates the digital exposure risk based on the teen’s age, hours spent on devices, and type of screen. Mobile phones and tablets tend to contribute more to blue light exposure and sleep disruption than computer or TV usage.
Tips for Healthy Digital Habits
- Encourage breaks every 45–60 minutes of screen use.
- Prioritize outdoor and physical activities daily.
- Reduce mobile phone use before bedtime to improve sleep quality.
- Use apps or settings to track daily screen time.
