Studies have shown that stimulus deprivation such as through isolation, greatly help to restore our natural dopamine function. This process occurs when our receptors become less responsive due to chronic overstimulation from technology and lifestyle habits. By reducing sensory input, we can recalibrate the brain's dopamine system, helping to break free from addictive behaviors and promoting mental clarity. Research from Nature Neuroscience and the Journal of Behavioral Addictions supports that practices, like self-isolation in combination with journaling, help restore the brain’s natural dopamine function. Additionally, studies from Harvard University and the Journal of Neural Transmission have demonstrated the impact of reduced stimulation on dopamine receptor balance and its role in attention and addiction.
