A blogger decided to go on a digital detox for one week before her period — no social media, no late-night scrolling. She noticed a big difference: fewer mood swings, better sleep, and less anxiety.
Experts explain that screen time increases cortisol, the stress hormone. When reduced, your brain produces more serotonin, helping you feel calm and balanced.
So, if PMS makes you emotionally tired or sensitive, try logging off for a few days. Replace scrolling with journaling, stretching, or going for a walk. Your body — and mind — will thank you.
