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

  • Every night before bed looks completely different depending on my mood
  • There’s no point where I actually put the screen down for the night
  • My bed has basically become where I scroll and watch shows, not where I sleep
  • 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

Practices that may help
