90 days without mobile helps man beat stress | GulfNews.com
DUBAI: So how long in this day and age can you live without a mobile phone? A few minutes or a few hours at best or worst (depending on how you look at it)?
Here’s a man who’s lived without a mobile phone for an incredible 90 days at a stretch after accidentally breaking his phone in August and realising – while waiting to buy the latest arrival – that it had actually done him a world of good. He is now suggesting others take his cue in order to reduce stress.

I thought it was going to be hard initially, but after the first week of ‘destabilisation’ I suddenly began feeling the stress levels, rather than going up, actually went down,” says Banner, who heads the digital team of a multi-media company in Dubai.
