Screen time (viewing) refers to the amount of time an individual spends looking at screens, including those of televisions, computers, tablets, and smartphones. It encompasses various activities such as watching videos, playing games, or browsing the internet. Monitoring screen time is important for understanding its impact on health and well-being. Excessive screen time can lead to issues like eye strain, disrupted sleep patterns, and reduced physical activity. Health experts often recommend setting limits on screen time, especially for children, to encourage a balanced lifestyle that includes outdoor play and face-to-face interactions.
