How Do Notifications Rewire Your Nervous System?
Every notification—even one you don't open—triggers a stress response in your brain that takes an average of 23 minutes to fully recover from. In this episode, Emma Sullivan and David Park explore how these constant micro-stresses quietly rewire your nervous system's baseline state and share specific, research-backed strategies like batch checking and turning off badge icons to reduce unnecessary activation.
