For people who do not have migraines, it is often difficult to comprehend the challenging balancing act migraine sufferers have to cope with on a daily basis. In addition to the classic triggers such as bright lights and loud noises, feelings, both positive and negative, can also cause a migraine attack. Likewise, a disturbed energy balance can lead to seizures if it gets out of balance.
Research studies have shown that the intensive use of digital media has a negative impact on our memory and ability to concentrate. Just the sight of a smartphone on the table leads to reduced cognitive performance, as our brain is busy ignoring the phone. In addition, the constant change from one medium to another contributes to the fact that we need more time for individual tasks and at the same time make more mistakes
