Assess your relationship with digital devices and screen time. Evaluate whether your technology use has become compulsive or harmful.
Digital addiction refers to the compulsive use of digital devices, social media, and online platforms despite negative consequences. Excessive screen time is linked to reduced attention span, poor sleep quality, anxiety, and decreased cognitive performance. This assessment evaluates your relationship with technology and its impact on your well-being.

Problematic internet and smartphone use shares features with behavioural addictions: compulsive checking, loss of control over usage, withdrawal-like feelings when unable to access devices, and continued use despite negative consequences. It's a growing area of clinical research.
Social media platforms and many apps are deliberately designed to exploit dopamine-reward circuitry — variable reward schedules, social validation metrics, and infinite scroll are engineering choices that increase compulsive engagement. Recognising this is not a personal failing but a design feature.
The impact of high digital use on sleep, attention, mood, and in-person relationships is well-documented. This test helps identify whether your digital habits are affecting your daily functioning or wellbeing.
