Digital technology has profoundly reshaped human behavior, sleep patterns, and lifestyle habits. Ayurveda offers a holistic framework known as Dinacharya, a structured daily routine synchronized with circadian rhythms to promote preventive health. This cross-sectional survey investigated how modern digital exposure—including total screen time, night-time device use, and social media engagement—affects adherence to classical Ayurvedic Dinacharya practices. The study also assessed relationships between Dinacharya adherence and health indicators such as sleep quality, digestive regularity, stress levels, and eye strain. A structured questionnaire was administered to 250 adults aged 18–60 years. Results revealed a significant negative correlation between night-time digital exposure and adherence to Dinacharya (β = –0.42, p < .001). Participants with lower adherence reported poorer sleep quality, more digestive disturbances, higher perceived stress, and greater eye strain. The findings highlight the importance of integrating digital hygiene practices with Ayurvedic lifestyle recommendations for preventive health management.
