Read Jake’s monologue about his experience of social media detox. 

Hello, dear classmates. Two days ago, I decided to do an experiment and start a social media detox. Before the experiment, I had spent around 4 hours per day surfing social media. I understood that social media affected my mood, concentration and sleep. I couldn’t fall asleep on time. I was often bored and all I wanted to do was to scroll through the feed. Moreover, the influence of social media on my concentration was serious. So, to make this influence lower, I stopped using social media for one day. And here is what happened. In comparison with the time when I used social media, I was a little bit more bored, but I had more time for reading and preparing my homework. I also felt more concentrated because I couldn’t be distracted by social media. I can’t say I became much more concentrated, but I believe one day without social media wasn’t enough to fix my concentration.

 On the whole, I think the result of quitting social media for one day was good. I sleep better now, and can concentrate a little bit more. I also decided to use social media no more than 1.5 hours per day, so I would have more time for hanging-up with my friends and could find some interesting hobbies.
