Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- There’s no point where I actually put the screen down for the night
- 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.
- My bed has basically become where I scroll and watch shows, not where I sleep
- Just as I’m drifting off a notification buzzes and I’m wide awake again checking it, and even on the quiet nights I keep half-listening for the next one
- It’s not the brightness that gets me
Practices that may help
- Set a screen cutoff time
Pick a consistent hour to put screens away and protect the wind-down window.
The Digital Sunset - Set a screen curfew 60-90 minutes before sleep
All screens off 60-90 minutes before intended sleep time — including television.
The Phone-Free Bedroom - Keep screens out of the bedroom
Reserve the bed for sleep so the space itself cues winding down.
The Digital Sunset - 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. - Set your phone to alarm-only mode after 9pm
After 9pm, your phone should be capable of receiving calls only — everything else silenced.
The Phone-Free Bedroom - Curb stimulating content before bed
Cut the arousing, attention-grabbing content, not just the screen brightness.
The Digital Sunset - Dim light in the evening
Lower light intensity in the last hours before bed so the clock can wind down.
Circadian Rhythm Optimization - Replace phone scrolling with a physical book at bedtime
A physical book provides relaxation without blue light, notifications, or the variable-reward loop.
The Phone-Free Bedroom - Build a consistent pre-sleep wind-down routine
Create a repeatable 30-60 minute pre-sleep sequence that cues the nervous system toward rest.
The Phone-Free Bedroom - Restore the bedroom as a stimulus for sleep only
Reserve the bed exclusively for sleep and sex — no working, scrolling, or watching in bed.
