The next morning, I wake up feeling drained.
I’ll comment on a friend’s post and then Facebook suggests friending a former classmate, but instead of doing that, I’ll scroll through their profile and learn about the last few years of their life… until I see an article that sends me down a research spiral and a comment section that leaves my brain on hyperdrive. You know the scenario.įor me, it’s a Tuesday night, and I’m unwinding in bed, mindlessly scrolling “just a little,” when half an hour later, I’m no closer to resting. Nobody is a stranger to deep diving into the Facebook rabbit hole.
