Do you disconnected from everything? What if somebody texts you?

This probably isn’t quite perfect but I respond to simple chats with friends I just don’t get on tick tock or watch snap stories or cruise on any other apps. I’m not perfect but this allowed me to take the first step and I’ve been able to follow through. It’s reduced my screen time quite a bit and then in the evenings I just shut off my phone or put it on silent. I don’t often tell people I’m going to bed I just stop responding and people respect that and it take away any awkward oh I’m trying to reduce screen time. Which is fine but for me personally adds an extra stress.

I hate texting, and have never been one to immediately text back. All my friends know it. On some weekends I turn airplane mode on when I need a complete social blackout. So disconnecting from my phone has been easy. Computer and netflix has been harder, but I have started a routine to shut my laptop 1 hour before bed and to never bring my laptop into my bed again. But for an avid texter I would suggest a few things to learn to take some distance from your phone: 1. put phone on either airplane mode or no distractions mode 1 hour before bed, 2. get an actual alarm clock, do not use your phone, and leave your phone in another room for the night, 3. keep your phone in another room when you are eating, 4. learn to leave your phone in different rooms that you hang out in. These tips should help you learn away from phone addiction and the need to immediately be available. Become available in your own terms and only when you choose so, other’s have no right to demand your immediate attention just because you have a phone.

Yes, I do at night. Well, I won't know about the texts if my WiFi is off. That's why the best solution is to turn off the WiFi from your device and put it in another room. You can also turn your phone or device off, because honestly, it will be a burden to turn it on again.

When I disconnect, I just simply put my phone on silent and move it to somewhere else in the house. I also have this app called ‘Flora.’ It’s basically where you set a timer and the longer you are off your phone the more your tree grows, but if you exit the app or like go on your phone the tree dies.

If someone did text me, i wouldn't do anything. But if someone calls me, it means they maybe need something so I would pick up the call

It’s hard to completely disconnect but nowadays phones are made to help. Turn on do not disturb as well as night mode. These eliminate non urgent messages and makes it so the light on your phone won’t be as harmful in keeping you up. It’s hard to be off it but making it easier to sleep makes it so you end up not needing it once you’re routine is established.

Sometimes. I try to give the person/people I am talking to a heads up that I need a break but it is usually just for a couple hours. I might not be able to answer text messages at that time.

Yes I disconnect. But when I do that I don't have my phone close to me and I put on do not disturb so I don't get texts or call unless it's urgent.

If someone texts you at midnight for any reason that is probably for chatting .If someone is indeed in need of help thay will certainly call you

If someone texts I just quickly respond and put the phone back. If they text back normally I take a little time before I respond unless it's important.

I don't think it's a problem to just reply the other day like we are not free in any time but if it was really important you will just have a call so that's ok

Disconnection for me personally is more about detox from things that can negatively impact u like social media. It doesn’t mean that you have to disconnect totally but take 2-3 hours off, turn off ur phone or notifications and do something not technology related. If you want to text someone or need to I prefer to maybe ask them for their number so you’d don’t get the temptation of scrolling when texting on social media.

I disconnect from social media, news and mobile games. I have no notifications on. I tell my close family and friends that I disconnect a certain time, like 9 pm.

I try to disconnect from everything in the evenings, but when I’m working in the afternoon sometimes I need to use my phone. When I do have to use it I have to have a lot of self control to not get distracted, but as soon as I’m done using it I put it to the side so I can’t see the screen and I turn the ringer off which is really helpful.

well if someone texts me i will Probably reply, it could be an emergency and it will only take a minute or two so why not?

No, I honstely don't disconnected from everything. But I use only WhatsApp, and only if it's necessary (if I receive an important message, or if I need some help or advice for some important reasons) ❣️

I disconnect from most of my apps, including messengers. I don't get notifications in that time so I won't know if someone did text me. If it is something urgent, people can call me. There is one exception though: when it is time, I will still text with my boyfriend (using another app which I normally only use on my laptop). This way I can still say goodnight to him but disconnect from everything else.
Also I have set a timer to disable all the distracting apps.

I put my phone on silent until the morning. However I sleep better with white noise, a bedtime story or meditation music sometimes I use one of those to play on my phone but the rest goes on DO NOT DISTURB mode. It is a hard habit to break but the key to getting sleep! Hope this helps!

Truth to be told, i dont really diconect fully. Just like the question ask, theres always someone texting me so i tend to ignore it as long as i can. Futhermore, if someone were to call me i wouldnt have any choice but to answer it. In my defends sometime the text can be contain with my teachers giving me homework through online.

I turn on the ”Sleep focus” on my iPhone so i will not get any texts or so until the morning after. I did make it possible for my boyfriend to reach me so if something happens and we are not home together he can reach me but otherwise I won’t get any notifications

It depends on who texts me,I match energy and if the energy /vibe of that person is something I'm disconnecting from i will respectfully ignore…. I don't like individuals that disturbing my peace,put me on tension thats why I choose to disconnect for a few hours just to be grateful ,meditate and enjoy the feeling of feeling good etc etc

Sometimes I don't have the time to really disconnect just like now, but when I do, I really enjoy some selfcare time without any screen😊

I really turn off my wifi and mobile data, so I can’t get any texts or notifs from social media. Then I also turn on my ‘do not disturb’ mode, so it doesn’t show me any notifications (except calls form certain people I choose, just in case there’s an emergency)

Setting up a priority list is important. As you're disconnecting, you want no distractions but distractions do happen so setting up a priority list of contacts is key as we can disconnect whilst still being aware that we have other priorities in life.

Usually my phone is at night mode and the apps are in silence, I'm still getting phone calls and messages though, I feel more relaxed knowing that if someone needs to find me that I could answer that call.

Well disconnecting is part of my afternoon routine now. So I'm still using my phone to use this app even though I'm "disconnected". For me it mostly means setting a time to turn off my games and not check social media. Having everything I do in that time frame have a purpose instead of being a distraction.

I probably wouldn't respond to a text though. The same way you set aside time for others this time is meant to be for you and you, as well as people texting you, should respect that. If you feel anxious about not responding to texts that may be a sign that you feel obligated to be available to other people even if its interfering in your needs. If you know you need time to disconnect and be with yourself It may be a good idea to complete shut off your phone and take an hour completely to yourself. It can be a very freeing to remove that feeling of needing to be available.

Knowing that would happen I tell my friends to text me tomorrow and that I am busy right now but usually I don’t get too many texts . I it is from my parents then I make note and call tomorrow.

When I do disconnect I do look at my texts because it could be a emergency or it could be a friend and I don’t want to miss what they haft to say.

Yes, i like to disconnect from everything at least one time in a week. If someone texts me, I just hope it's nothing special and move on. In my pants, everyone who textes me, can wait my answer, even if it takes longer! Do you<3

Luv u

If its snapchat or instagram then i ignore it. I accualy put my phone on airplane mode ( because my dad says so ) and then nobody is distracting me.

I don’t disconnect from everything it’s more me just spending time with my family and putting my phone to the side if someone messages me I may have a look at it reply and put my phone back down or my phone may be in a different room so I won’t see the notifications

It depends, if it's my family I will respond but if it's my friends I wait because they might just be sending memes and vids

You need to take care of yourself so as to care for others. If you don’t have time for yourself you will become overwhelmed and so disconnect for a while nothing bad will happen it’s our subconscious that scares us the most.

If someone text me and it does not interest me or it’s to many or long messages then I answer late. It’s not good but I need a moment to relax and get myself ready to listen, receive and understand so I can reply.

I mean if somebody texts you it's not normally very urgent so you can always reply to it later or if you want you can tell everybody the time you will not be available. I normally still hold my phone within hearing range so I can answer important calls if needed but I do not check my texts, the phone will be on silent so I can disconnect, maybe like read a book or just dream of random things.

I disconnected from everything. Never mind, I will see It later. That is not the most important thing. If It is really important then they will find onother way to contact me.

Yes, I put all my devices on flight mode. When folks message me I'll answer the next day. It helps me to be much calmer in the evenings.

I spent my every waking hour today productively serving others, this is the time I take for mself, I took a shower to clean .yself from the gym, did my nightime skincare routine, played with my two kittens and now I took this time to reflect and reply to this, to be grateful for all the great things I did today, to be grateful for the person I am becoming, I can always improve and achieve more, but the greatest achievement will always be to consistently stay in the path to improvement, tomorrow will be another bright day, whoever texts me now will have me at any other time, but this time I dedicate to make my day better.

Yes everything accept my sims game I have my phone on dnd ,focus ,sleep , work & sleep mode all day I can literally control whos calls can get thru and If a call does get thru I can decide if it’s important & if I wanna call back or not .

Yes at times when i feel so much is going on i tend to disconnect from everything suppose if someone texts me I comfort myself and try to respond

If somebody texts me and I’m doing something at that time, I’ll just wait till I’m done and THEN I’ll answer the text!:)

It really depends on what time they text me at if it's before 10pm then I would respond but if it's after 10 then I'll get it in the morning

If the text is important so I would reply it but if it is just from a friend or something just not so important so I will Postponed it to check tomorrow.

I instantly respond. IDK why, it’s just a habit. I love using tech bc it’s a trend now. I also have lots of messages so obvi I check. Wish I could just silence everything but I cantttt😩

It depends what I’m doing. If I’m in the middle of a really important homework or calling someone i ignore it, but If I’m doing nothing or just sitting down I check my phone

I do. If somebody texts, I won’t know because I put my phone on silent. You can put the settings on so that only emergencies come through, or they have to call three times, and this makes sure your distraction free. If you do it just before bed, treat it like your already asleep.

I try and disconnect from the world I turn my phone off for just a simple 5-7 mins and focus on breathing and meditating

I just can't disconnect. But when I'm falling a sleep then I can't hear it cause its on mute. Otherwise I would check if my friends have texted.

Yeah sure, my friends and others are texting with me through the Instagram, so when I turn off wifi nobody interrupt me.

I turn off notifications/use do not disturb after a certain time. If someone is texting me after 10:00 it can wait until the following morning. If it’s an emergency they can call and dnd mode can allow calls to come through

i deleted social media. i’m going to delete it for a while so for now i’m just texting my friends. only one of my friends has bothered to text me lol. but it’s ok i’m gonna grow a lot from this break

I did my best.I tried to switch my phone and mute it the most time of the day.I had a very little time on my computer and some days i watched TV

I live during war times. Tbh, it’s crucial to stay connected. However, I’ve spent a week of nights, I think, in a bomb bunker. And every night I was disconnected. Nothing wrong happened. It actually calmed me down and helped me fall asleep. You don’t really need to be connected during the night.

Yes, you disconnect from everything, find something productive to do. If someone texts you, text them back at a later time.

Almost, if I have a project for school, I make my display darker and finish it as fast as I can.
If someone will text me I won’t hear the received message, because I always turn the “Do not disturb” mode on

Honestly, it’s hard to disconnect I feel like I’m missing something. My man doesn’t call till late at night. We don’t really talk that much in the day. I do want to talk to him.

I like phone calls or videos better. If someone texts me I usually like to keep it brief so it’s easier to understand. I’m not a huge text-er normally unless I have a lot to say…in which case I end up writing a letter. I feel like my points will get lost though or I’m not being very clear.
It requires a lot of concentration for me to put my whole thoughts together in words and I like them to sound good/well-written.

I usually answer in the morning, usually people don’t text you important things late night, they can wait. Think about your health before thinking about others! Hope I helped! Sorry for my bad English 🙂

If it was an emergency they would call and i would answer unless my phone was on do not disturb mood but usually in this period of time nobody calls me because they know it is my alone its when i like to pray

Try to disconnect only from the unimportant stuff like instagram and/or netflix. If somebody texts you and it’s important than you can answer.

I don’t disconnect from the tv. I do look to see who texted me, but most of the time I do not answer. It really just keeps my mind clear and ready for peaceful sleep.

I would recommend setting your phone to mute, but if you have something important, just allow reminders for that app. Ideally, keep your phone on the other side of the room and just listen to relaxing sounds. I personally love the sound of rain. A scented candle also enhances the experience. Do it once a week at minimum and you'll feel much, much, more relaxed

I tend to try and disconnect from everything, and if possible move all devices from my bedroom to reduce the temptation. It may seem like quite an ask, but it does feel incredibly freeing to not keep checking everything, even if it is just for half an hour.

I used to check my phone last thing to see if someone had texted, but I do not feel I have lost anything by just simply leaving it to the next day. Basically, if someone texts you late when you want to turn devices off, just leave the text unread. It can wait. Like I said earlier, it is incredibly freeing to do so.

Well, I won’t know because I’m in a quiet room with do not disturb on. I could text them back later. I’ll be completely disconnected if I don’t even have my phone and any other device in the same room.

It depends if I decide to do deep studying or just reviewing . If it is a more intense version then I turn my notifications off and might even tell my family to stay quiet. If it’s chill then I will keep them on but yeh not to get carried away and only answer important texts and I might even play some music and have a snack while I do it. 🙂

Yes I did disconnected from everything. Iv told all my friends and family to not disturb I am going to sleep but if it is important ring my house phone.

Whenever I disconnect from things at night, I find the best thing to do is to turn off my computer and turn off notifications on my phone and focus on relaxing activities. If I ever wonder about someone messaging me or the weather tomorrow or something similar, I tell myself that there will be no consequence for waiting until tomorrow to reply, after my morning routine, when I can send a proper reply to any messages I received the night before. I hope this helps!

If there is an emergency situation, I get up and go to an other room to check it! But most of the days I close internet connection and I know that if it is truly important people will call my number. After all , the point of the “unplug and disconnect” is to eventually stop worrying if you connected all the time. Its a relief actually!! Iike a part of your brain stops making noise.

Depends on the situation if it’s an emergence yes if not it can wait until morning because I need to prioritize myself more and my sleep is very important.

i take time away from my phone, like an hour or half an hour and then ill be away from unneeded things like social media but if my friends or family text me ill answer

take some time. before disconnecting check your messages once and let the important contacts know youre going to sleep but tell them to call you if important.

I honestly do not disconnect from everything because as said I do check if somebody texts me due to anxiety about that person or thing being hurt or saying something important. I also like to watch certain thing to clear my mind of stress like satisfying YouTube videos or going on call with a friend to vent.

I don’t disconnect from everything. I keep my phone next to me in case someone texts me or calls me, you can never know when it’s an emergency. But I just keep it close to me, not scrolling on it or anything. I keep it locked, next to me on the pillow while I read a book, listen to music or journaling

I try to. Depending on the situation, even if I’m on a device, I don’t respond for hours in end. To just socially cleanse myself if that makes any sense.

Idc,if i want to sleep ,i sleep but if it s not night,i can't rlly diconnect cuz if someone texts me,i feel bad to don't answer if i can.

Disconnecting is about coming off if social media mostly. If someone contacts you, read the text. Does it stress you out? Upset you? Then push it out of your mind for now. Unless it's urgent, of course. If it causes no harm, go for it.

I do, if somebody texts you don’t answer! It is time to disconnect from the world and Wind down. if someone needs to talk to you it can wait till later but if it is important they would call.

Actually i can’t disonnect at all but at least is better than using phone or social media 24h so if someone need help or just want to ask about something i will answer

Tbh i cant disconnect from everything, its like in my nature to try and help others even if it doesnt benefit me in any way.

if somebody texts me and they need help, i will answer them but if they're just bored I'll tell them that I'm going to bed and I cant

If someone texts me then they’ll have to wait. If I want to care take of others then I have to take care of myself first meaning I will put my goals first. It’s it’s an emergency it’s ok because I have a landline phone for the whole house so they can call there if I don’t respond

i disconnect in a way that i read books for a bit whilst my phone is down and i keep my phone by my side in case anyone really needs me

I’ve set up special ring tone for my husband and mother. Anyone else I don’t answer. I set my phone to do not disturb. Only the most important people will get through.

Yes I do, and if somebody texts me, I don't know because I turned my phone on silent or event flight mode ! They surely can wait a little, because I reconnect with my beloved self !

I disconnect often. I realized I was spending too much time on my phone watching YT, so I deleted it from my app list and spent time with my friends not on call, but biking. I feel like I’m in a much better mood after a whole day without any electronics.

Sometimes…but it is important to let go of negativity and keep positivity. How about you try the 5-day Letting Go Challenge starting in a few days?

Ya, i disconnected from everything accept that of my work. And if someone texts me i'll surely reply the one. If found it important.

I've explained to everyone in my "circle" that I have a cut off time. I let them know that I put my phone on do no disturb. Then I follow through with putting my phone on a scheduled "dnd" mode.

When someone texts me I try to ignore it wich is hard. I always have my notifications turned off that helps. And in the evening to disconnect I turn my phone off and dont sleep with it in my room.

Well yes, I close all of my apps and I leave my phone on silent. If anyonr texts me I will answer next morning. I know it can be risky because sometimes people might need something with urgency but sometimes we have to be selfish and when it's time to sleep, it's time to sleep, I have to respect myself and my mind. Maybe if you try it only before you're going to sleep so that you answered whatever was needed beforeir can help tremendously. You don't need to be in touch all the time to be thought of or to feel like a good friend! Good luck

I just keep my phone on silent mode. That way when it vibrates I guess see who it is to see if I would like to answer the phone or not. But as far as social media goes, disconnected from it. It’s only a distraction to keep you on there.

Most of the time unless it’s smith important. But my rule is don’t text people that don’t text u first bc the ones that care talks the most

I try to disconnect from everything but if I hear my phone bing then I will check it and see who messaged I will normally try to not answer endless it is really important

It depends. If I am worried about missing an important message then I’ll check my phone Lock Screen when I get a notification. I won’t open my phone or answer unless important.

Yes I disconnect from everything and everyone. If someone texts me the phone doesn’t turn on nor beeps. I’ll the text in the morning

I put my phone on do not disturb so even if I get a message I won’t be distracted or even made aware of any messages or phone calls. It’s important for me to create balance in life. In the event of an emergency the person can bypass the message setting but they usually don’t. 😊I disconnect from every thing at the same time every night including social media. My life has been so peaceful. I use to always feel like I would miss something if I disconnected but I recently discovered I’m not missing anything at all.

I would probably take a quick pause and check if it’s something important if it’s not I just go back to what I was doing. So I would say I don’t really do the best unplugging.

I used to have struggles with that, but yeah if I lay my phone down I put it away for a while and don't look on it. They can wait for a bit. If it is urgent they can call me. It is good to stop the rush of having to answer directly all the time. Disconnecting and letting go does wonders for your mental health. It is your life and you deserve some peace even if it is just for one hour.

I didn't disconnected 100%. Most of the time I check my phone later or if I'm unable to sleep. A bad habit that I need to change. Tomorrow I will disconnect and keep the phone in the drawer until morning.

I will turn on my"Do not disturb mode"
This is an amazing way👏.
But if somebody texts me I will check it on the morning 🌄

if you’re meaning disconnecting from my phone then yes i do. i’ve made it into a habit to where i can look and see who text/calls but it’s my choice wether i reply or not. the question i think you should ask yourself more than most of the time is “is it worth it?”. “if i answer this text or call, will be using my time/energy wisely?”. i get distracted more than most but making healthy habits such as unplugging and disconnecting from electronics and stepping outside once in a while really helps you to step back and see the beauty in every single thing.

Honestly, I'm still having troubles disconnecting when I'm supposed to. I'm somewhat in an unhealthy habit of dismissing my activities.
Personally I'm going to start putting my phone on do not disturb and taking a good 20-30 minutes to just unplug and relax, outside of taking a shower and not having my phone. I'm sure it'll do wonders for me.

I check my phone one last time before starting my evening routine, and then I put it on airplane mode, so I can’t see any incoming messages.

I turn off my alarms and notification sounds so that I don’t get tempted to check. If it doesn’t exist to me right now, it’s easy to disconnect from it.

Yes, I disconnected from everything. It is because I do it in the evenings when prepare myself to go to sleep. It’s easier to go to sleep when you’re doing something that calms you down, for example reading a book, than getting stressed up and distracted with your phone. If I get a text I only notice it in the next morning and answer it then.

Every evening i put my phone on do not disturb. This is a feature in my phone itself so it also has an emergency feature. Your favourite contacts’ calls will always come through on the first call. And other people’s call will come through the second time they call you. So if its really urgent you can still pick up 🙂

I have very bad social anxiety. So some days i just cant bring myself to be social at all. Sometimes i would delete my social medias so i couldn’t see the notifications. If someone i love texts me, i will tell them what’s wrong and that i can’t text or talk for awhile. If they truly love me, they’ll understand.

So, yes you disconnect from everything. But if you get a text, just ignore it or say you can’t talk right now. If it’s urgent, respond immediately as you would normally. If not, let it be.

I try to. But depends. If my boyfriend texts me I will answer him, because talking to him is also a way to decompress. If I manage to call him right before going to sleep even better, relaxes and soothes me

Sometimes, I’m drawing or dancing, and I hear a notification from my phone. So I distract myself by checking it. If it’s nothing important and I was really enjoying what I was doing, I would just ignore it. But sometimes, it’s a message from my family, and I’m really exited to talk to them, because I don’t do it that often. So I just take a few minutes to say hello to them. Yes, it is distracting, but it is worth it.

No, I occasionally take breaks but mainly try to focus on the big picture. It's like doing a task for 25 minutes take 5 min break and repeat the cycle. Overall, the thing is to be in the balance.

I don't have notifications and just like that I am not going to know it, on top of all once I finish with Fabolous I am going to close my phone. I am fully disconnected by the internet.

You only have to do it for a few mins and if that work can wait then it need to wait and if the work is really important that yes you can check it's up to you

I disconnect from everything. I turn the volume off my phone, I put my watch on do not disturb. If it’s an emergency, people know how to reach me otherwise, so it’s better to just shut it all down before bed.

Even if it's just for 30 mins in the morning I try not to use my phone atall and if I can do my morning routine and read for 30-40 minutes that is most ideal

If I'm go disconnect from the technology and I get a message it really depends if it's important or not if not they I won't answer and just power off my phone and put it away if it's important like a emergency then yes, I will answer it.

Even though it’s hard to not answer when someone texts you it helps set personal boundaries and can really help your mom and body adapt. Even though it can be hard it’s still best to try.

I have a million times felt disconnected and definitely forced myself to disconnect, normally I have my phone on do not disturb and silent, also for self control you can stop your self from replying or just reply in your head, and then subconsciously you’ll be able to ignore until you feel like replying, it’s also important to know, that you are not here to please anyone but your self, and it is completely okay to ignore the world for a while when it suits you best, don’t let people tread on your boundaries and live the life YOU want.!

What I usually do is just set a do not disturb timer until 4 am so that I see it when I wake up… And if its something important they can just call me

Nobody will text me because I don't have that much friends and if someone text me then they will call me and tell me they texted me. But other than that, I don't have that much friends that will text me.

I don't hear someone texting me. I have mij dont desterb function on. Zo I can't hear when someone texts me. Also I just wouldn't it is to unload the weight of the world and the speed of life zo you could relax

at first, i offed my phone but after a while i went back to my bad habits and use my phone before sleeping and not only that i also do ans my friends messages even if i were to put my phone away

I ended up setting my phone up for down time around 8pm sent my last text or emails for the night and 9:15 is complete disconnect. I find once I had this in place I don’t tend to receive messages or calls until I’m awake and social media is disconnected so I don’t bother checking till around 7am

When I disconnect my phone is not connected to the internet so I can’t receive any messages. So I don’t know that I have a message

I always make sure I put on the “do not disturb” mode on, or close my phone like it’s battery ended. Other devices like laptops I just simply close, and for tablets I do the same for phones. Hope this helped! <3

it really depends on who the person is and how urgent the message is for me. normally i have do not disturb on so i don’t see text regardless

I usually only disconnect from social media, but I have times during the day when I disconnect completely. Texts and calls can wait. I feel it is just as important to spend some quiet time by yourself as it is to be connected whit others.

I once heard a saying, that if taking care of yourself means letting someone down, then let them down. Do just that. Also it might be useful to communicate with your loved ones to let them know that you are doing this.

Yes I do diconnect from everything or at least I try. When somebody texts me after I diconnect I usually don't even know. I have my phone away from me and I just read book usually. If its hard to you, try doing it in steps, first diconnect only from few apps half an hour before sleep, than try expanding it. Hope it helped, keep trying <3

i kinda just put my phone far far away from me or i use this app called bakery which basically doesnt allow you to use your phone for a period of time. if you own an apple phone, you can turn on ‘Do not disturb’ mode as it may help 🙂 if i lose motivation, i’ll go watch these youtube videos from ‘tbhstudying’ her channel helps alot for me :v

Just turn off ur phone use ur laptop or something else if you wanna listen to a podcast or some music and don't answer at all.. And if you can go to an Island or something to be away from ppl that would be nicer

If someone text me while I disconnect there is still a possibility that I'll text back. If not I text them the next day saying why I didn't respond

I do disconnect. I don't even feel guilty for not immediately replying. I just sometimes need some personal time. My advice is to turn off your active status(on messenger). I am thankful that my friends understand me. Sweetie, Do not feel sorry for not replying that fast.

I'm not really worried about texts. Everything I can answer now I can as well answer in the morning, not to mention, chat is made for those moments when you can't call, so it's not a problem if you don't answer right away. But if you are truly worried something may happen, you can always program your phone to ring only when someone calls, that way you can be sure you'll be notified if an emergency comes up!

I wish to disconnect from everything and focus on my own things. However, due to the new modern world it feels like you are not a part of something once you start being disconnected.

To put it simply, No. obviously if it’s late (around a reasonable time to go to bed) nobody should be texting you and if they are, it’s not that important. You can leave your phone on and nearby but try to just use it less like read a book or something.

I have everything muted after a certain time on my phone: text, calls and notifications. There is a bed time routine setting on my phone. The only thing that can get through is calls from my grandma. As I am her emergency contact.

I disconnected from everything and sometimes I get the urge to text someone something, or to check my phone, but I always remind myself that it can wait until the morning.

I have on do not disturb in the evening – so no messages or notifications disturbs @ night – BUT someone might still call me, or trigger my livingroom alert, and since these kind of things are very important I will be notified.. But not from anything else 🙂

No being isolated from the outside world is not good. There are distractions but some conversations and chats are important to build you as a person.Communication skill is important and we can learn so much by talking to a person. I believe if we are confined we will not grow and we will think we are the best and peer pressure is important.Disconnecting from screen devices is good not from the world

I simply complete my priority calls 1 hour before bedtime like friends and family. This is the reason I don’t get any texts or calls before my bedtime schedule. Thus, I get plenty of time for self care routine.

Im unpluging from internet so i dont know if someone texts me. Only thing is that im listening to music when my evning habits.

Whther or not I answer depends on how important the text is. I most of the time just log out of Snapchat before bed, then the next day I log back in since that's mostly where I text. I don't disconnect from everything, but I do things like reading or drawing or planning to turn me away from my phone for a bit

i put my phond in ariplane mode just b4 going to sleep, not bc i'm scrolling in sm but because what if i get a text? here the things simple, just b4 going to sleep check obly for messages, if u have then see if they are important, is they are answer if not leave it for tomorrow. having urself as a priority isn't a bad thing.

sometimes i’ll go a few days without answering anyone to give myself a break from people, but usually i’ll answer some people and then sometimes i’ll only answer like 2-3 people and leave the rest on delivered until i feel like texting more people 🙂

Yes I do disconnect from time to time to be alone with my thoughts. If someone text me while I’m disconnected, then I’ll receive that text when I reconnect.

I’ll set some time to get away from all the connection. So if somebody text me I’ll only reply after my disconnected time finish

I just simply turn on aeroplane mode before sleeping that way you don't have to worry about calls and texts and do finish all your tasks involving your phone 30 mins- 1 hr before sleeping
This helps a lot!

Treat your mobile phone like it’s your home phone. Like in the old days before the mobile phones. It is rude to reach someone after 10 PM unless there’s an emergency, therefore I never look at my phone after 9.30 or 10 PM. And all my contacts are aware of this rule in my life therefore they never reach me after a specific hour. you have to be dedicated though :/

I just turn on the bedtime mode on my phone! That way no messages come up. If I do see a message or get called, I just do not answer. Unless it is very important! Sometimes I watch my favourite show, wich does not always feel like “disconnecting”. Other times I read in my book and put on the relaxing sounds from this app! I usually feel really good after that 🙂

All of the vegetables and fruits I can fit my plate, picking up some nuts when you're running late.
Have a wonderful day 💕
