We all love a good 15-second scroll, but a new study warns that excessive TikTok and Reels binges might be just as bad for your brain as alcohol or nicotine.
Heavy scrolling can lead to:
Trouble focusing
Weaker decision-making
Lower self-control
Basically, your brain starts craving constant dopamine hits, and suddenly reading a book or finishing a project feels… boring.
The fix? Try a little “digital detox” and swap a few clips for a walk, a chat, or something offline. Your brain (and maybe your productivity) will thank you.
