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

• I bought the blue-light glasses everyone swears by and changed nothing else, and my sleep is exactly as bad
• I’ve already cut the caffeine, dimmed the lights, bought the blackout curtains and the cooling mattress
• 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.
• It’s not the brightness that gets me
• I fuss with night mode on my phone but my whole place is lit up like noon right until I climb into bed

Practices that may help

1. Don’t over-rely on blue-light glasses
   Treat blue-light-blocking glasses as a weak, optional add-on, not the fix.

2. Use sleep hygiene as the foundation, not the cure
   Get the basics right (light, caffeine, temperature, schedule) but do not expect them alone to fix insomnia.

3. 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.
4. Set a screen curfew 60-90 minutes before sleep
   All screens off 60-90 minutes before intended sleep time — including television.

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

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

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

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

9. Charge your phone outside the bedroom permanently
   The phone charges overnight in another room — this single change eliminates four pathways of sleep disruption simultaneously.

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