Introduction

Maintaining focus and concentration can feel increasingly challenging in a high-demand, digitally saturated environment. Frequent notifications, rapid task switching, and easy access to distracting content may be associated with reduced attentional control and greater perceived distraction during daily tasks. (Koessmeier 2021)

Difficulties with concentration can have many potential contributors, including stress load, sleep quality, nutritional status, and medication effects. Sleep loss, in particular, may be associated with reduced vigilant attention and slower response patterns, which can affect day-to-day performance. (Hudson 2019)
