'Sleep scores, step counts': Viral video questions the race to optimise every moment of life with the message, 'We’ve stopped being human beings, we’re turning into dashboards'

A viral video by comedian and content creator Danish Sait has sparked a conversation about how modern life has turned into a constant race of tracking, measuring and improving. From sleep scores to step counts and learning streaks, the video questions whether people are enjoying life or simply managing a list of digital targets.

Danish’s humorous observation has struck a chord with people who feel overwhelmed by the pressure to optimise every part of their routine.
