Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I bought the blue-light glasses everyone swears by and changed nothing else, and my sleep is exactly as bad
• I’m staring at a bright screen right up until I close my eyes and then I lie there not even tired, and I’m starting to think all that late light is the reason it takes me an hour to fall asleep.
• I fuss with night mode on my phone but my whole place is lit up like noon right until I climb into bed
• It’s not the brightness that gets me
• After hours locked on the screen my eyes feel dry, gritty, and strained, the text starts to blur, and a headache creeps in behind them

Practices that may help

1. Don’t over-rely on blue-light glasses
   Treat blue-light-blocking glasses as a weak, optional add-on, not the fix.

2. The Digital Sunset
   A "digital sunset" is winding down screens and bright light in the evening to protect sleep. The strongest part of the case is light timing — bright light at night delays your clock and keeps you alert — plus the simple fact that engaging content and late scrolling displace sleep. The popular blue-light-glasses fix, by contrast, has weak and mixed evidence, so this hub leans on the levers that actually hold up.
3. Set a screen curfew 60-90 minutes before sleep
   All screens off 60-90 minutes before intended sleep time — including television.

4. Dim your evening light
   Lower overall light intensity at night — the lever that actually moves your clock.

5. Curb stimulating content before bed
   Cut the arousing, attention-grabbing content, not just the screen brightness.

6. 20-20-20 eye break
   Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to relieve the ciliary muscle fatigue that causes digital eye strain.

7. Avoid bright overhead light in the 2 hours before bed
   Bright light after ~9 pm suppresses melatonin and shifts your clock later — dim the environment instead.

8. Set a screen cutoff time
   Pick a consistent hour to put screens away and protect the wind-down window.

9. Keep screens out of the bedroom
   Reserve the bed for sleep so the space itself cues winding down.

10. Dim lights for the 60 minutes before bed
