Here's how 15 minutes of device-free solitude can affect your emotions

When you’re feeling angry, stressed or overexcited, let a little alone time soothe you back to a more peaceful state.

Just 15 minutes of solitude — no phones or other devices, please — can leave you more relaxed, calm and centered, a recent study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin found.

Being alone is different for everyone, so it may be helpful for people to explore and see how it feels to them, said Thuy-vy T. Nguyen, the study co-author and graduate student in the department of clinical and social sciences in psychology at the University of Rochester.
