Let's Rest is Lior Ziv's newsletter on rest, recovery, screen time and digital disconnection. Each essay takes one question — why boredom matters, what sleep loses to the phone, what returns when the device leaves the table — and answers it from clinical psychology and from The Offline Lab's own experiments.

Where should I start reading?
