digital detoxes

Quitting screens temporarily

Digital detoxes are periods of abstaining from electronic devices—smartphones, computers, social media—to reduce stress or reconnect with offline life.

The concept treats constant connectivity as something toxic requiring cleansing: I'm doing a digital detox this weekend.

The plural typically refers to multiple such breaks or the practice generally.
