Healthy Gaming Tips
Set Time Limits
Establish specific times for gaming and stick to them. Use timers or alarms to help manage your gaming sessions.
Take Regular Breaks
Take breaks every hour to stretch, rest your eyes, and engage in other activities.
Balance Activities
Ensure gaming doesn't interfere with work, exercise, social activities, or other hobbies.
Stay Social
Maintain relationships with family and friends. Gaming should complement, not replace, social interactions.
Monitor Your Mood
Pay attention to how gaming affects your mood and wellbeing. Stop if you feel frustrated or upset.
Get Enough Sleep
Ensure gaming doesn't interfere with your sleep schedule. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep.
