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

• 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
• 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
• There’s no point where I actually put the screen down for the night
• I’ve gotten the morning sunlight habit down, but I’m stuck indoors under bright lights all evening and my nights are still rough

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

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

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

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

6. 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.

7. Dim lights for the 60 minutes before bed
   Drop overall light intensity in your home in the last hour before sleep to let melatonin rise undisturbed.

8. Keep screens out of the bedroom

10. Avoid bright overhead light in the 2 hours before bed
