One of the first things we realized with the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic was the excessive amount of time we spend on social media, whether for work, study, or simply socializing and escaping boredom. Digital companies Hootsuite and We Are Social created a 2021 Digital Report, which indicates that users spend around 7 hours a day online, which translates to more than 48 hours a week. Doomscrolling refers to the act of consuming information in large quantities, without distinguishing between positive and negative news. After the pandemic, the world sought firsthand information and wanted to stay as up-to-date as possible. One symptom is sleep deprivation or inability to sleep due to staying awake consuming stories, information, news, etc. This often happens on platforms that don\'t measure information consumption and encourage scrolling, such as TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. that never seem to end on their main screens. The effect this has on people has manifested as mood swings, sleep deprivation, negativity, irritability, among others. What worries psychologists and neurologists is that there is no cure or effective solution to stop doomscrolling. A study conducted in the United Kingdom, specifically at the University of Essex, yielded results regarding users\' moods on these platforms and determined that just two minutes of doomscrolling on social media negatively affects mood. The proposed solutions to curb this type of toxic online activity include creating a routine of good habits that are reasonably adapted to our pace. It also involves reconnecting with others socially and trying to disconnect from the internet. And above all, being mindful of online time and setting limits. Another important tip is to select the information you consume, whether it\'s negative or positive. Finally, disconnecting with a walk, playing sports, going to the park, are self-compensating attitudes that help to forget about virtuality and the dreaded doomscrolling.
