Honestly I haven’t either, but I still sleep no problem. You just have to set up your environment right. First, I set up my bedroom. I changed out all white light to orange, and only open a few at night so it’s dim. I turn off the fan and only use the cooler (I only use the fan in the day, so my room has a very different vibe with just the cooler), I also prepare a face mask. It’s kinda special because I never wear it in the day. After a few weeks just putting on the face mask can make me feel sleepy. Second, give yourself ample time before sleep. For me, I go up at 7~8pm, set up my room. Use my phone a bit. My first alarm (with a lullaby ringtone) goes off at 9pm, where I brush, floss, bathe, then use my phone again. By 1030 my final alarm goes off to ask me to turn off all gadgets. I don’t normally follow, but my phone has a bedtime mode that turns the screen grey which I set to turn on my 11pm. By the time I see the grey screen I’d be ready to sleep. It’s very important to do the be grateful and meditate exercises. They help clear out any racing minds or tight chests. Do it right before sleep, while lying in bed, and you may find yourself sleeping in the middle of the routine! That’s what always happens to me anyway, so my streak keeps breaking :')
I struggle with this myself actually! My advice is to do other things before you actually go to bed. Such as drawing, reading, journal, or plan out the next day.
I have the same problem. Try having your friends for a night or more at your house or you at theirs,when you’re with them is probable that you dont use your phone. When you cant stay with them you can play/discuss with your family or lay in bed reading a book!
Before I go to my bed I put my phone on do not disturb and plug my charger with my morning alarms set... on the other side of my room 😁 good luck loves
Hello there! It’s easy, you just put them on the airplane mode and put them in another room. You do another things like reading a book or studying. Just make sure to not thing of social media or phone!! ❤️
To power it off completely, bc if it is on then very time it ring or you get a notification you will be tempted to check it
Getting a good book has always helped me. Warm tea in one hand and a fascinating book in the other and my phone becomes less and less important!
Buy an alarm clock and leave your phone in another room. Or turn on the sleep focus so you don’t get any notifications during the night
Set the tone of your bedroom ready to sleep and then when you’re done turn your phone to dark mode, airplane mode or turn it off.
Change your “phone usage” into another activity! I had this struggle for a long time, so i replace 30 mins of my phone usage to reading a book that I generally like or even to watching youtube/netflix on my laptop. That would train you to use your phone less. One step at a time will be best!
