This Is Why You Can’t Stop Scrolling

Did you know you’re not addicted to your phone, but to the dopamine it triggers? Every swipe, every notification, every new video hits your reward system perfectly giving you fast dopamine spikes that real life can’t compete with. Studying, training, losing weight, building a business… all produce less dopamine than scrolling does, which is why they feel boring or hard to stick to. Once you understand this dopamine trap, you can stop blaming yourself and start managing your environment. Change the setup, not your willpower: grayscale your phone, don’t sleep next to it, don’t wake up with it and put the phone down when you need to focus on what actually matters. 👍 Like & Subscribe for more no-nonsense, science-based content on behavior, health, and performance.
