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
- 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’m wired at bedtime and lie there unable to drop off, and I keep my whole house lit up bright right until I climb into bed
- It’s not the brightness that gets me
Practices that may help
- Dim light in the evening
Lower light intensity in the last hours before bed so the clock can wind down.
Circadian Rhythm Optimization - Dim your evening light
Lower overall light intensity at night — the lever that actually moves your clock.
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 - 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 - Curb stimulating content before bed
Cut the arousing, attention-grabbing content, not just the screen brightness.
The Digital Sunset - 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.
The Wind-Down Routine: Engineering Your Path to Sleep - Keep screens out of the bedroom
Reserve the bed for sleep so the space itself cues winding down.
The Digital Sunset - Get bright light early
Anchor your clock with bright (ideally outdoor) light soon after waking.
Circadian Rhythm Optimization - 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.
Morning Light Anchoring - Set a screen cutoff time
Pick a consistent hour to put screens away and protect the wind-down window.

- The Digital Sunset Before Bed
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.
