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

• I lie down exhausted but still humming in day-mode, like my system never got the signal that it’s safe to power down
• Just as I’m drifting off a notification buzzes and I’m wide awake again checking it, and even on the quiet nights I keep half-listening for the next one
• My bedroom is a little too warm, there’s streetlight leaking in and a glowing clock and charger lights everywhere, and I’ve just been putting up with it
• I go straight from being fully switched-on
• I work or scroll right up until the moment I switch off the light and then expect my brain to drop into sleep on command
