Over 60? These 7 Screen Habits Quietly Damage Your Brain, Sleep & Independence

Описание: If you're over 60 and spending hours each day on screens, this video is for you. Excessive screen time – scrolling social media, binge-watching, doom-scrolling news – is now linked to faster memory decline, chronic insomnia, social isolation and increased fall risk in older Australians. In this guide, you'll learn the 7 hidden screen habits that harm older adults most: doom-scrolling, late-night viewing, replacing real connection with passive online consumption, sedentary screen use, multitasking overload, ignoring eye strain and using screens as default time-fillers.

We explain in clear Australian English how ageing brains process digital stimulation differently and why screens disrupt sleep, memory and independence more after 60 than at younger ages. You'll discover practical, realistic digital detox strategies: screen-free zones, daily time limits, the 20-20-20 rule for eye health, and how to replace screen time with movement, real social connection and meaningful offline activities.

Research shows that reducing recreational screen time by just one hour per day improves sleep, mood and energy within two weeks. This video is designed for Australians 55+ who want to stay sharp, sleep well and live independently – not lose precious years to passive scrolling. Watch to the end to learn which single morning habit can break the doom-scrolling cycle.
