71% of Americans report screen overstimulation in survey
A Best Therapies survey found that 71% of 1,006 Americans experience overstimulation from screen use, with nearly 1 in 4 reporting it daily. Younger adults reported this issue most frequently. This indicates a widespread perception of "screen overload" among American consumers.
Key Takeaways
- Best Therapies surveyed 1,006 Americans in February 2026, weighting respondents equally across generations.
- 71% of respondents said they experience overstimulation from screen use.
- Nearly 1 in 4 Americans said screen overstimulation happens daily.
- Younger adults reported screen overstimulation more often than older generations.
Why It Matters
The immediate signal is that screen overstimulation is affecting a large share of consumers, not just a small subset: 71% of 1,006 Americans in the Best Therapies survey said they feel it, and nearly 1 in 4 said it happens daily. For streaming and other screen-based services, that makes attention fatigue a real audience condition to track alongside viewing habits. The generational split is also notable, since younger adults reported the problem most often. Next to watch: whether future Best Therapies surveys keep the same 1,006-person, generation-weighted format and show the same daily rate near 25%.
