Did you know we check our phones an average of 80 times a day, spending nearly a quarter of our waking hours on screens? We interrupt work, forgo sleep, procrastinate, and turn to digital distractions when bored or uncomfortable. But how can we break the cycle?
Join NHS neurology doctor and neuroscientist Dr. Faye Begeti as she unpacks the science behind our digital habits. Discover what happens in your brain when you use your phone, the truth about digital ‘addiction,’ and how blue light, sleep, social media, and mental health are connected.
Gain practical, evidence-based strategies to transform your phone habits, improve focus, reclaim your time, and build healthier connections—with your phone and the people around you.
Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm – come down early and get a good seat!
