Why HuffPost Staffers Unplug

If you've been plugged in to our site recently, you know that this Friday, March 1 at sundown marks the official start of the National Day of Unplugging.

Americans around the country have pledged to disconnect from their gadgets for 24 hours, and for good reason: Taking digital detoxes can improve our productivity at work, restore our ability to focus and strengthen our connections with the people we love.
