MOSCOW, September 15 - RIA Novosti. Two-thirds of Russians would like to introduce a self-ban on social networks before bed, another quarter would like to take control of night trips to the refrigerator, according to a study by the Compare company, which is available to RIA Novosti.
“The vast majority wants to limit nighttime scrolling of feeds - 69% of respondents would put a personal ban on viewing social networks instead of sleeping. The second most popular anti-trend was late visits to the refrigerator after ten in the evening, which received 28% of the votes,” the study says.
Moreover, almost every fifth respondent (19%) would like to prohibit themselves from buying fitness subscriptions, since then they practically never use them.
Another 18% of respondents consider it necessary to limit night shopping and block the ability to make purchases on marketplaces after midnight in order to protect the budget from emotional spending.
“The results of the study show that the habits that are most difficult for Russians to control or change are most often associated with concern for their well-being and impulsive purchases. In the case of spontaneous spending, a simple pause before a purchase helps - for example, postponing the decision for a few hours and returning to it later. During this time, you can understand whether the thing is really needed, or whether the desire to buy it was situational,” noted the press service of Compare.
