A couple of weeks ago I gave up television and radio. For the first week I actually got quite ill and suffered from migraines. But now into my third week and things have settled down.

This is a kind of dopamine detox, and currently I have no plans on turning the television or radio back on.

Beat me to it. :)

 

There doesn't seem to be any scientific backing for a dopamine detox (as with most detoxes), but turning off the noise is helpful whatever it's called.

 

At least where I live (East Coast, USA), we are assaulted every day with a blizzard of inputs from tv, radio, cellphone, on and on and on. Just inject silence wherever possible. For me, that means silence in the car, no tv or radio on in my house (when it's just me), etc.  It does a world of good.
