Sometimes I struggle with this problem too! You can set up screen time on your phone, or create a night routine to follow everyday! I usually find that reading books before bedtime is fun and distracts you from your phone! You’ve got this!
I do this to! But what I find myself doing is guilt tripping myself about what will happen when I don’t get enough sleep. I would say try and check your socials an hour before you go to bed and then maybe leave it somewhere else other than your side table
Search for manufacturers features that allow you be in control of your phone like timer that shutdown apps, reduced intensity of blue light. An hour to your bedtime turn your data off and reflect on your phones usage, am I using this phone for the right purpose? Technology was designed to help, play a calm refreshing music and meditate on how to better use your phone.
Hello friend, yes actually. I found it very difficult to disconnect from my phone while studying so I downloaded an app called "lock me out " it kicked me out every time I wanted to open an app while studying and It was kind of a reminder for me of how addicted I was to my phone.. try that app and also try to do something productive at night instead.. try to read abook, or write down a journal or even a to do list, maybe even a wish list to keep you motivated and excited for tomorrow.. wish the best
When it’s getting late I usually left my phone to charge, sometimes I listen to music ecc.... the best thing, in my opinion, is watching something (movie, tv series, anime) that you like in a comfortable position, you can also try reading books ora writing/painting. I think is also important the way you go to bed, don’t wear bra/panties or boxes you will be more comfortable ;)
Start by setting a time when you want to disconnect then decide what you want to do during that time. Maybe read a book, do a skincare, do your nails, do some coloring, if it’s not too late grab you book and go through your notes. Really anything you can do that will make you forget your phone. Then after completing whatever you wanted to do, go directly to bed and have a good sleep.
It’s really hard but all you can do is change your shape according to what’s necessary and also try meditation before sleeping.
If you have an iPhone set a bedtime on the phone and in the settings put a timer on apps. Say Instagram. Put the timer to 1hour and after that the app will close and your done for the day.
You can put it away from you (like on the desk or sum) just dont have it close to you. If you’re living with somebody, you can also give the phone to them and ask if they could keep it to the morning :)
I would recommend first to write down the answers of why do you consider to use phone, what it does to you, is it important for your life? Gather up more questions and write the answers down. Afterwards, check how many social media do you have. In fact, social media and games increase the amount of screen time more than productive or talent practice apps. Think and decide which social media or games are less important to you and why, so that you can delete them. After you have finished it, settle a screen time settings in your phone. Practice mindfulness and get yourself busy with more creative or physical activities. This way, not just one day, but as you progress, you will be away from your phone. And, talking about night time, replace it with your favorite book.
