Balancing gaming and well-being
Gaming can be a great way to relax, connect with friends, and enjoy a shared experience, but it’s essential to balance screen time with other activities. Take regular breaks to avoid burnout, stretch, and ensure you’re not sacrificing sleep or physical activity for gaming.
Tips for healthy gaming
- Take Breaks: Follow the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink water regularly, as dehydration can lead to fatigue and affect your focus.
- Be Mindful of Time: Set limits for your gaming sessions and avoid late-night gaming to protect your sleep.
