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 doing all this work to dim things down at night, but my mornings are spent indoors in dull light with no real daylight until midday
• My bed has basically become where I scroll and watch shows, not where I sleep
• 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

Practices that may help

1. 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.
2. Set a screen cutoff time
   Pick a consistent hour to put screens away and protect the wind-down window.

3. Counterbalance with morning light
   Pair the evening sunset with bright morning light to keep the clock anchored.

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

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

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

7. Dim light in the evening
   Lower light intensity in the last hours before bed so the clock can wind down.
   Circadian Rhythm Optimization
8. 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.
   Morning Light Anchoring
9. View sunset light to buffer against evening bright-light damage
   Low-angle evening light recalibrates the retina and reduces how severely bright indoor light suppresses melatonin.

10. Set a screen curfew 60-90 minutes before sleep
