How do I better resist the urge to check my notifications after I’ve put my phone away for the night?

To resist the urge to check notifications after putting your phone away, establish a calming nighttime ritual. Set a specific time to unplug and create a relaxing environment, such as reading or meditating. Consider placing your phone in another room to reduce temptation. Remind yourself of the benefits of disconnecting, like improved sleep and mental clarity. By stacking these habits, you cultivate a routine that supports your goal of disconnecting and unplugging effectively.

You can turn off your notifications manually. Also, if you are using an Apple product you can go into Settings and select Focus. From here you can customize your device so that it blocks notifications and messages during certain times.
