Have you caught yourself scrolling on social media for long periods of time and noticed you begin to feel overwhelmed and overstimulated? While we may feel like we are “resting” during a doom scroll, our brains are still using their resources to absorb and engage with the content on our screens. In an effort to mitigate these feelings of being overstimulated, people have reported listening to videos on mute – taking away one of the stimuli. As odd as this sounds, @MichelleQuistRyder with the American Psychological Foundation, spoke with CECILY MAURAN at Mashable about this phenomenon and why people are catching on. ?? "When you start introducing the brain to things that are higher stimulus, and you have to go through that kind of adjustment period where all of a sudden you have to process that, and your brain has to realize that it needs to allocate more resources in that direction, that's part of where overstimulation comes from.? Watching it on mute is kind of a trade-off, where you're still engaging in the behavior that you're associating with dopamine or serotonin but you're reducing the amount of stimulus that you are feeding your brain, and so you're kind of staying away from that overstimulation," said Quist Ryder.
