I would think maybe an alarm would help. Or digital management of the phone so that you cannot access your phones. Also you can use apps like SleepTown (I haven’t used it but I have heard it’s good) to cut distractions like your phone.

Aren’t we all guilty of this... then when the alarm goes off the next morn we beat ourselves for losing those precious hours to digital activities. I rise above this temptation by leaving my phone in my purse when I get home. I use the time to prep my bedtime ritual. I remind myself of the dreaded blue lights if my mind tries to confuse me towards my phone and I visualise the morning struggle to get off the bed. By the time I’m done, I feel ready to snooze so there is little or no time to check the phone. Its not very easy but I practise it.

I can put my phone on do not disturb. Also I can keep my phone somewhere else and out of my reach so I am not tempted to look at it.

Breake that pattren by being on phone first and then taking a shower or do face cleanse and go to bed, just change the order of the routine

When I go to sleep, I always turn the Wi-Fi off on my mobile, so no one can interrupt me while sleeping. I put my mobile on my desk far away and it helps too.

You have to do something that can make you sleep. Example, read some books or do your homework. Is the best for you to do your homework or if you don’t have homeworks you can read a book at least 1 chapter a day

You can set alarm for using phone. When the alarm will be ringing then you will keep your phone. And if your sleep isn’t coming you can read books or practice journaling

Try to have this sit on phone time Before go to bed. Like 30 min before. And make atmosphere like your sleeping time. No TV ,No music and less light when you done with your phone before sleep time,put your phone aside and go to bed.

I think it’s a bad habit, but sometimes I do, too. I leave my phone in the kitchen so I don’t take it to bed. then when I look at my phone before I go to sleep I try to put myself in an uncomfortable position as it can be standing. once you get used to it will be much easier
