Constant News Alerts Can Keep the Nervous System on Edge

AMFM Healthcare is featured in Psychreg’s discussion of the “news cycle nervous system”, which explains how nonstop alerts and repeated exposure to distressing events can keep the body in a state of vigilance. The article connects constant input with tension, disrupted sleep, emotional reactivity, exhaustion, and numbness.

The piece describes how perceived threats can activate the same stress pathways used for immediate danger, even when the trigger arrives through a screen. It recommends checking news at set times, choosing a few reliable sources, disabling nonessential notifications, and using breathing, muscle relaxation, or brief movement to help the body reset.
