@framework Watching TV tends to produce **alpha waves**, which are brainwave patterns associated with relaxed, calm, and slightly unfocused mental states (8–12 Hz). When people watch television, especially passive or repetitive content, their brains often shift from active **beta waves** (alert thinking) to more relaxed alpha activity.
This means viewers become more **receptive and less critical**, almost like in a light trance. Prolonged exposure can foster a sense of detachment or reduce analytical thinking. However, short periods of TV watching can help relieve stress by promoting relaxation.
To stay engaged, balance screen time with active activities like conversation, reading, or exercise.
