Mental Health

A practical Choice IQ hub for stress, sleep, focus, digital habits, and everyday mental wellbeing decisions for Indian readers.

FAQ

Are sleep scores from wearables accurate?

Trend accuracy is reasonable; stage-by-stage accuracy is not. Treat the nightly number as a rough signal and the week-over-week trend as the useful data.

Can an app replace therapy?

No. Apps can support habits, journaling, and breathing practice. They are not a substitute for professional care, particularly where symptoms are persistent or worsening.

What actually improves sleep the fastest?

A consistent wake time, cutting caffeine after early afternoon, and a dark, cool room. These outrank almost any gadget or supplement.
