Are you watching this on the toilet? I can’t believe I’m typing this, but a 24 year old man scrolled for 30 minutes, stood up, and collapsed. He's now paralyzed!!! Doctors are calling it BATHROOM SCROLL SYNDROME. I can’t make this stuff up. This is ridiculous. Stop taking your phone to the bathroom and SHIT IN PEACE. Here’s the scientific publication link for the article called: Smartphone use on the toilet and the risk of hemorrhoids https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12407481/ And one called: Toilet seat syndrome: renal failure, perineal gangrene, and sciatic neuropathy [https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(00)00752-X/fulltext](https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(00)00752-X/fulltext) And even a CNN article: https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/12/health/phones-on-toilet-wellness WE NEED TO DO BETTER!!

Gen Z is the first generation in history that is measurably less cognitively capable than their parents, and the research points directly at screen time as the primary cause. The good news is neuroplasticity works in both directions and a more intentional relationship with technology is enough to start reversing the damage. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

What helps us build a healthier relationship with AI? According to UC Berkeley Haas Professional Faculty member @drsaharyousef, the answer may be simpler than you think: mindfulness. Drawing on her research at the intersection of AI and the brain, Professor Yousef explains how cultivating "presence of mind" can help us avoid over-relying on AI—not just for our thinking, but for our emotional lives as well. As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, developing intentional habits may be one of the most valuable skills we can build. #BerkeleyHaas #UCBerkeley #HumanEdgeofAI #HaasAI

Scrolling is producing measurable brain atrophy in areas tied to self-awareness and cognitive control, and the research shows it goes in both directions. Two habits that are actually reversing it: a phone parking lot that keeps the device out of sight for dedicated blocks every day, and finite scrolling sessions that cut the infinite feed off before it cuts into the brain. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

One of the most striking studies ever seen in this field brought hundreds of high performers into a lab, powered their phones completely off, and split them into three groups based on where the phone was located. Scores on attention, memory, and fluid intelligence dropped measurably as the phone got closer, and the researchers concluded that the mere presence of a phone reduces brain power even when it is off and face down. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

AI can be a powerful cognitive co-pilot—but don’t let it do all the thinking for you. 🤔 UC Berkeley Haas Professional Faculty member @drsaharyousef explains why protecting your brain’s neuroplasticity means thinking and writing on your own before turning to AI.

Take the casino out of the phone and win back 20-60min PER DAY. Give the color back to your real life! Casinos have exploited our brains forever: in one experiment, red light plus fast paced music literally made people gamble FASTER! Source: Spenwyn, J., Barrett, D. J. K., & Griffiths, M. D. (2010). Now look at your phone. 🤳 Your home screen is running the same experiment on you, every day, for free. Our feeds are like candy to our brains and the slot machine has moved into our pocket. Willpower was always the wrong tool for this. It's a design problem, and design problems have design solutions. My favorite 30-second intervention to reduce screen time is to “take the casino out of the phone” by switching it to grayscale! Gray food is less appetizing. Gray slot machines hook you less. Gray Instagram is just... meh. In a newer two-week study where phones were passively logged, people got back ~20 minutes a day, felt MORE in control, and reported less stress. And what is fascinating is that most of them had no idea the gray was why they felt better and spent less time on their phones, because this pull operates BELOW awareness, that is, in fact, the point. Source: Dekker, C. A., & Baumgartner, S. E. (2024). In my own classroom at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business with working professionals, they spent ONE HOUR LESS on their phones PER DAY! That’s 7 hours a week! To me, that’s the difference between getting that workout in, calling a family member, or doing something that feeds my soul. YOU ARE BETTER THAN THE DEFAULT SETTINGS! Try one week in gray and keep the color for your actual life! iPhone: 1. Go to Settings → 2. Go to Accessibility → 3. Go to Display & Text Size → 4. Go to Color Filters → Click it and BOOM, you’re in Grayscale Then you can add Color Filters to your Accessibility Shortcut, and a triple-click of the side button toggles it back and forth (because navigation really sucks in gray and you probably don’t want to look at photos of your family and dog without the color too). Instructions for my Android friends in the comments. 💛

Tech companies try to recruit me every year. They want help making their product "stickier." Sticky is just the polite word for addictive. A bunch of us got pulled out of addiction labs to design that into your phone. My work now is to help you undo it.

Attention spans are not permanently destroyed and my students at UC Berkeley have been able to reverse the damage in just two months by simply changing their relationship with technology. Start with one thing: create a phone parking lot in your home or office and put it out of sight, out of reach, with notifications off every time you need to focus. #DrSaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #Neuroscience

The anxiety, stress, and depression tied to heavy app use was expected, but the actual brain atrophy showing up in scans of healthy young people was not. These are perfect, uninjured brains meeting the criteria for smartphone addiction, and the bar to qualify is lower than almost anyone realizes. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

Every color, every icon, every flash of light on your phone has been optimized by a team of researchers to keep your eyes there. Turn the display to grayscale and the phone immediately looks dead. You’ll spend roughly one hour less on it every day. The phone didn’t change. Your brain just stopped getting paid to look at it.

Even a phone sitting silently on a table drains the cognitive presence of everyone around it, and most people have no idea it is happening. The habit feels harmless until the data shows what it is actually costing every conversation, every meal, and every person sitting across from you.
