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

• My bed is where I scroll, watch shows, answer emails, and worry
• My bed has basically become my office and my couch
• The moment I get into bed my brain flips on
• My bed has basically become where I scroll and watch shows, not where I sleep
• I lie in bed for ages trying to fall asleep, and the bed has become this place where I just fail to sleep
