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

  • 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
  • I close the laptop but work never actually stops
  • I bought the blue-light glasses everyone swears by and changed nothing else, and my sleep is exactly as bad
  • I have every light in the house blazing right up until I climb into bed, and then I lie there wide awake wondering why my body hasn’t gotten the message that it’s nighttime.

  7. 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.
  8. Dim light in the evening
    Lower light intensity in the last hours before bed so the clock can wind down.
    Circadian Rhythm Optimization
  9. Counterbalance with morning light
    Pair the evening sunset with bright morning light to keep the clock anchored.
    The Digital Sunset
  10. Follow shutdown with a clear transition activity
    Immediately after the shutdown phrase, do something non-work-related to mark the transition.
