A woman who stopped using screens for a month said it helped her define 'what I really like,' but her husband found living without Instagram to be 'too much'

• French documentary maker BrutX conducted a month-long experiment with six volunteers.
• They were challenged to live without using any screen, including smartphones and TVs, for a month.
• Paris-based Chiekh, 28, said he found not having access to Instagram to be "too much."
