+Enables body scroll locking.
+
+- Use the `useLayoutEffect()` with an empty array as the second argument to execute the provided callback only once when the component is mounted.
+- Use `Window.getComputedStyle()` to get the `overflow` value of the `body` element and store it in a variable.
+- Replace the `overflow` value of the `body` element with `'hidden'` and restore it to its original value when unmounting.
+
+```jsx
+const useBodyScrollLock = () => {
+  React.useLayoutEffect(() => {
+    const originalStyle = window.getComputedStyle(document.body).overflow;
+    document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';
+    return () => (document.body.style.overflow = originalStyle);
+  }, []);
+};
+```
+
+```jsx
+const Modal = ({ onClose }) => {
+  useBodyScrollLock();
+
+  return (
+    <div
+      style={{
+        zIndex: 100, background: 'rgba(0,0,0,0.25)', display: 'flex',
+        justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center'
+      }}
+    >
+      <p
+        style={{ padding: 8, borderRadius: 8, background: '#fff' }}
+        onClick={onClose}
+      >
+        Scroll locked! <br /> Click me to unlock
