Do Not Use Social Media When Vulnerable or Near Bedtime
Avoid social media when emotionally vulnerable or feeling bad, and avoid it in the hour before bed or anywhere near bedtime; the guest says vulnerability increases salience and susceptibility to being programmed, while bedtime use can make you miss your sleep window and reduce the frontal-lobe function needed to stop scrolling and fall asleep. Less overall use is better.
