I love to play music before sleeping and usually is on my cellphone. What would you suggest to do instead?

Sit with yourself for a while. Write down what happened with you today, analyze the events, then write down what you learned and what you accomplished, even if it was small. Do not forget to write a list of things you are grateful for.

Whilst it is still on your cellphone i find asmr to be a great way to relax before and during sleep but if you do not want to use your cellphone i reccomend herbal or chai tea and a book or you can drink while writing a journal or diary entry. Hope this helps!

You can still listen to music! If you have an iPhone you can go to alarm and put how ever much time you want but instead of a ringtone press on “stop playing” and the music will automatically stop playing

Music before sleep is fantastic. Just make sure it isn’t to upbeat. You want something to start to slow your mind e.g. relaxing music, guide meditation or even a sleep meditation then it won’t matter if you drift off to sleep.
Possibly a evening journal is a way of documenting something that you are grateful for, something positive that has happen during the day. This set you up to going to sleep on a happy note. If something wasn’t quite right put that to bed as there is no use having internal dialogue with yourself.

Instead of playing music on my cell phone, I usually write a letter for my future self every night. Then, I will stretch my body for good sleep. (Playing music is a great idea, it reduces stress)
Thanks for asking, I am glad to answer your question!

I suggest us to maybe read a book 📖 or maybe go to the toilet 🚻 to pee because you might pee in your bed 🛌 and your mom will be sick of it of changing it all the time so maybe if it doesn't work you can just wear a diaper 😉🤭😊😇 or the last thing to do which is the best thing to do is to just SLEEP 💤 😴 cause you don't want to waste any more time to have a long nice sleep before SCHOOL cause school is super early but some school starts late not fast and mine fast it is at 7:00 😐 and some might be at 6:00 but good thing that is not me but I want my school to start at 1:00pm 😉

Create a Playlist that you LOVE, a Playlist that you don't want to skip any song. Another thing you can do is to put your phone on a very dim lighting and I'm pretty sure most phones have blue light filters so you can put that on at night time aswell

well, i dont know. i listen to song before sleeping too, sometimes, but its nott good for your health. U can play songs on your computer and set your computer to shut down automatically, if u know what i mean. or u can try to start reading books before sleep, it can sometimes be really tiring and relaxing in one moment and after that u will sleep well, because your brain will be relaxed and tired. and it's also a good idea not to look at your phone for an hour before sleeping<33

I like to listen to music but not before I go to bed it keeps me up more and have more energy in the night when I try to get sleep to wake up in the morning and study for school but on the weekends it don’t get quietness in my house everyone is u and loud when I try to get sleep

I suggest you find a sound making machine and use it instead of your phone. If this doesn’t work out, you can still listen to music on your phone, just have a time limit around 1 hour before bed. Using your phone can be very tempting before going to sleep, but will have negative consequences on you the next day. Please try putting your phone on Do Not Disturb mode and read a book. Hopefully this helps you! If it did, glad I could help you, have a blessed day!

just breathe calmfully and think always in a really positive way that u r doing all your best to be someone good in this life , we are all trying in different ways💕

I compile a playlist and download it so I can put my cellphone on airplane mode and continue my disconnect while using the smart settings on the phone to create a timer to shut it off. Or I use my smart speaker or display to play the music.

I think listening to music is fine as long as it’s calming! You could always try rain sounds instead it maybe read a bit before sleeping so you have less trouble getting to sleep once you’re done

I do it too, but only for music. Sometimes you have the necessity of watch your messages, If you have this necessity, maybe u can use an MP3 or an assistant like google home or Alexa

To be honest, I don’t really see a problem with what your doing now. My friend plays music before sleeping through a speaker, and if she wants to reduce screen time, she just plays it through the night on a very low volume.

I would choose something else to do. Music can be a good relaxing tool but it all depends on what you are listening. Maybe laying in bed and think about what you want for your next day to look like.

You could still do this, I put my phone on sleep so I don’t get notifications. U could put on screen time and lock all other apps besides the streamer you play music on

Read a book, play a quiet audiobook, play ambient music, play calming music, meditate, drink a cup of hot tea/ hot cocoa, diffuse calming essential oils, dim the lights, hide your phone a little while before getting ready for bed, silence your phone if you can, make a sort of "puzzle" around your phone to help discourage you when you want to get on it. I hope this was helpful! 🙂

Maybe you could Dowload a long song and play it befoew bed and it will stop after that song finishes. You don't have to use the phone then

I would suggest that when your heading to bed wear comfortable clothes to sleep in such as pajamas or over large shirt with leggings before getting into bed check if the room is warmish so it's not to cold or hot. close the door of your bedroom and turn the lights off get into be and get into your most comfortable position possible and relax and enjoy the silence of the night If you're overthinking just think and remember the best moments ever

I would suggest read a good book instead. You should just keep your phone away. You can organise your things for tomorrow. I do it. The next day I don't get lazy because I already organised it the day before. If not then you can have a good talk with your partner or any other family member about what you did the whole day and then ask to tell them too. These are some best eays to end your day. Also you can take a walk outside under the moonlight and stars.

iPhones have an option under timer that can stop your music from playing so you can turn the music on and put the phone to the side:)

I suggest you to use a Bluetooth speaker because you will not have to use your phone as often. Also, I think you should make a playlist with an app that will not loop the songs over and over.

Well, it is nice to listen to some calming music before going to bed. But I suggest trying meditating, to help you de-stressed and to help your body relax so that you can sleep peacefully.

if you can’t sleep without listening to music, then make sure it’s instrumental or quiet and calm. put a timer on it so it turns off once you’ve dozed off 🙂

For myself I know it says to understand plug but I only unplug my phone… I have started small and plan to work my way up.. my phone is my biggest distraction. If you have a smart TV play your music on there but one with no lyrics. Like Meditation music. I also suggest starting small so that way you don't beat yourself up…

Maybe read a book or listen to music on and mp3 instead of a phone. This will keep you away from all the social media and the light from your screen. Although reading or drawing is great before going to sleep. Do something you love! <3

You should either read or spend time talking to the people you live with or do a couple momento of meditation. That way you aren't interrupted by all the news in the world and you can Beginning to relax. This helps a lot with Falling a sleep and sleeping all night long with no problems. Hope this Helps!!!

you can continue to listen to music as long as it’s relaxing and not energetic. personally i listen to instrumentals of songs i like or just piano songs which really help me prepare for sleep. instead of being on your phone try reading a book, journaling, playing cards, drawing, or even a small activity book like sudoku to entertain yourself in a similar manner.

Instead of having the temptation of your phone next to you, maybe play a radio or a Bluetooth/noise maker. It is sometimes easier to go to sleep soundless though.

Try listening to some classical music on a radio if you have one or if you use Spotify there is a sleep timer which stops the music after certain period of time. You could start playing your music let’s say an hour before bed and set the sleep timer for one hour and it will automatically stop it without you worrying about it.

Well I am not sure because I see nothing wrong with that. I love music too, and I find it nice to listen to music. Have you ever considered making your own music and learning an instrument?

Hey beautiful human,
I don't think listening to music is a bad idea as it definitely helps me sleep. But the kind matters. Listening to slow, peaceful and lofi music will make you feel calm and sleepy. Make a playlist of songs(preferably without lyrics) that sooth your soul and make you in a state of serenity. Otherwise, you can try to do mediation (start with 5 mins and then build up for how much ever long you want), journal your thoughts and feelings (do a body scan or write down all the emotions you felt throughout the day and what they were related to. This will trick your brain into thinking that the day has finally ended and it's time to wind down and it'll also, help you to understand yourself better), do sleep yoga (there are tons of videos on YouTube that are based on yoga poses to do before bed time.. you can do them on the bed too :). You can also, try drinking a cup of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric or any tea and read a book that is slow placed and relaxing (never a thriller or anything that makes your heart race 🙂
I hope you like these suggestions and are able to incorporate your preferred ones in your night time routine. And hopefully, they bring you a well rested and energising sleep.
You're doing great!! And I'm proud of you no matter who you are.

If you have an Alexa or like a google thing then you can maybe play music on there but if you don’t I would suggest making a playlist for before bed that you can turn on then not touch your phone. I hope that helps

If the music is helping you relax, I don't see why you shouldn't keep doing it. Sure it's on your phone, but it helps and is already a part of your routine. If you are super worried, you could get a radio or a MP3 player that could play music off a memory card instead. That way you can keep the music going

I suggest to use an alarm clock that you can connect your device to or ask it to play relaxing sleep sounds. I personally use an Alexa and it works really well! You can tell it to stop playing instead of touching your phone or set timers for when you want the music to stop. For example, “Hey Alexa, stop playing in one hour.” The clock is also quite cheap off Amazon and definitely worth it!

Use an app where you can set a timer of when to stop your music, then you can fall asleep with it on but not have your phone running all night.

Maybe buy an Alexa. There is really not much to say to this. Overall, I think it is very smart of you to listen to music before you go to bed. I hope it’s relaxing though.

Honestly, i don’t think listening to music using a phone is bad. Because you not looking at the screen, your just listening, through headphones probably. Music before bed i think is wonderful. Some music aps even have timers so the music turns off after you fallen asleep. There’s also always radios and cd players you could use too 😉

Maybe use a music player and set it too a time limit so you can save electricity and you should also make sure to listen to calm music as that would make you sleep better instead of really loud of upbeat music 🙂

I would suggest getting a clock or speaker that plays music especially soothing sounds like waves crashing on the shore or even smooth jazz, I’m a huge fan of Sade.

i think that’s alright just get a playlist so your not constantly have to look at your phone and set an alarm to make it turn off i know you can do that on a iphone i don’t know if you can on anything else

You can play music before sleeping even if ur playlist is on your phone…you can just download ur favourite songs on ur phone to listen to your playlist without internet or 3G …then you can put your cellphone on Airplane mode
[ I do this every day before sleeping:
1- turn Airplane mode ON
2- listen to whatever I want…. music…songs…or maybe Prayer audio]
You can try it…

I like to read, as besides from the enjoyment I get from it it helps me relax, clear my head, and gives me something to think about. I also like playing with my cat, because she helps me relax when I'm anxious and can't sleep.

i think instead of listening to music your should try to read a book. if your someone who has trouble sleeping like me, i would suggest you try and read a really boring book. It might sound crazy but it really works.

Compliment myself and give myself an "attaboy" for following through with my personal issues today. Small steps make BIG changes. I want to succeed. I WILL succeed.

I would listen to slow song allowed me to think freshly on everything.. prefer a non vocal song as the instrument allow you to make your brain relax and focus on those beautiful notes..such as jazz or classical slow such chopin or debussy

i recommend reading a book! they’re always interesting:) but if you really enjoy music i think you should play it and relax!

If you play music before sleeping that's fine because it may make you fall asleep faster and it's relaxing but if you go on it and you don't go to sleep then just maybe you should power off you're phone and let it charge.

Find something to do with your hands. Music stimulates the ears, and screens stimulate the eyes. To replace them you need to stimulate something else. Books are a great alternative to cell phones, and I find drawing or writing works to replace music.

If music helps you relax keep listening. But get a Bluetooth receiver or Bluetooth headphones and put your phone in the next room (if you have multiple rooms) and turn on do not disturb mode. If your phone is in a another room you can just use it for music. You can't for example use social media or read "news" at the same time.

So, usually, I put classical music on my phone or nature melody because it helps me to sleep faster and I can get a better sleep. And it really works.

Meditate instead..reflect upon your day and see what you have learnt and express gratefullnes towards something that happened that day.. Also make up your own night affirmations relating to your goal and chant it at least 10 times.. You will see changes overtime

I recommend you to listen to music BEFORE bed. For example, while taking a shower/bath, or while you're brushing your teeth, or doing your daily night routine, etc. It might give you a little after effect, so that you can sing the song to yourself, or hum it quietly. I won't tell you to stop listening to music before sleeping, because music is playing a really important role in people's lives. We all sometimes need some dance in life. So, it's your decision if you take my words, if I were you, I would definitely try these. 🙂 Reach out to me, for further informations if you'd like or need! Good luck!♡

Sounds you find calming, such as natural rain or ocean waves.
And DON'T watch your screen, play it at a low volume only you can hear and is comfortable for you.

Read a good book of your choose or you can do some art paint what you feel describe you feelings on that peace of paper or whatever your painting on in your favorite colors

maybe listen to a podcast because you can set a timer for it to stop after a x amount of time. it also help’s you to sleep better.

I can certainly identify with you. Firstly, try putting your cell away long before you are ready to go to bed….somewhere you can't see or reach it. Perhaps try reading a book. This works for some but not everyone. I tried breathing and mediating exercises and it has made a world of difference for me. It helps the brain shut down especially for us who can't switch off. It's a process…you just have to find what works for you and know what you want to accomplish. Don't beat yourself up as you embark on new changes….baby steps. Before you know it you have developed new and better habits. All the best.

I think that music is a good idea before sleeping but there are some rules that you should probably take into account.
1. Stop the music at least 15 minutes before lights out. This allows your brain to adjust to the quiet environment.
2. Have the music quite quiet. This will allow you to not get used to a loud environment before sleep.
3. Try and not play music you find hard to stop listening to. You should still play music you like obviously but not that you find it hard to stop.
If you want to try something else, maybe try reading a book that you would like to read. Probably not one you want to put down as this will delay your sleep as you find it hard to stop to have lights out. You could also do something like write in a journal or draw as this is quite relaxing.
Hope this helps!!!

I use Spotify and play music in that so at night before sleeping I always play music in my tablet. First I fully charged my tablet and my earpods and second I connect the earpods with my tablet and third I open the app Spotify and I've made a sleep time playlist so you can easily make one. And play the songs that can make you easily fall asleep. Put on your earpods and place your device beside your bed or anywhere you like. And when you notice that your feeling sleepy remove your earpods and close the playlist/app and sleep peacefully. I usually do this and this will not make your body feel weak or ill and can easily sleep. So I will suggest you this when you can't sleep. I thought this will help you so, good night and thank you💜

I really enjoy to read before bed and you can also play music or a meditation but try not to play games or text your friends. You can also mérite and just brain dump on a piece of paper to help you sleep. You can also count your breaths

For me personally if you are able to afford an Alexa or a device by voice control that you don’t have to look at blue light it really helps to limit the phone before bed also I’m pretty sure you can ask the device to go for a certain amount of time then auto shut off

Hard question to answer. Because I do the same thing sometimes. Maybe you can play some music, and during that time you stretch with the exercises on this app. After 5 minutes or so, you can stop and also stop the music. Take a notebook to journal about your day. Once it's a habit, it will be much easier to do so! Then you can go to sleep, and maybe fall asleep faster too. I hope this helps 🙂

If you’re trying to get off of your phone before bed time I say make a playlist on Spotify premium or Apple Music that is long. After doing that since you’ll have no commercials just let the playlist play while you write affirmations/manifestations/goals in your own journal/diary. You also could do some yoga, cleaning, or deep thinking before bed with the music in the background that way when you go down for bed you won’t even think twice about your phone at all

Sing a song that you love and know lyrics. Try to control your lower voice. Studying The book "Set Your Voice Free" by Roger Love can help you.

Well I would suggest maybe getting an mp3 player and using that instead. Also if you can not get one maybe putting a blue light filter on your phone would be a good solution. Have a good sleep!

I do the same thing but its meditation music and i put a timer on. There are many sleep music apps. My phone is the only source I have. When the music is done I'm usually asleep. My phone turns off the app and goes dark till my morning alarm goes off.

Anche a me piace la musica, l’ascolto tutto il giorno. Ma mi piace anche disegnare e leggere, solo che sono cose che richiedono tempo e io non ho mai tempo

I would use a LP because some are short and when the song/album is over the Record player will automatically stop.
Or you could try to use Spotify on your phone and set the bed time timer. If you play a playlist ( for example peaceful piano or sleep that is made by Spotify!!) tap on the 3 dots scroll down and tap on the moon set a timer for 15 or more and after the chosen timer the playlist will automatically stop

I rather listen to a podcast or read it feels better when you are getting ready to sleep and helps you get ready to start reading in school

If you like to play music, play and sing to your own symphony! If you’re talking about playing music on your phone that’s great too. Before bed I like to decompress and take things slowly. I need to unplug because I’ve been in front of my laptop from studying and connecting with colleagues on my phone. I don’t want to be in front of all that noise, but I would recommend finding a way of peace and balance by playing an instrument or playing music on your phone and relaxing before bed. Time to refresh, reflect and relax from a hard days work.

I like to read a book and unwind, or take a nice long shower after a long time and put a face mask on with a warm drink.

I would suggest a nice, simple way to cut back on the phone. You could fall asleep to the birds and the crickets chirping. You could also count sheep at a disco party while you fall asleep.

meditate!! i don’t think listening to music at night is a problem if it’s calming and not energetic but meditation helps me fall asleep. i do a 5-10 minute meditation, put away my earbuds, close my eyes and fall asleep. it’s really helped me fall asleep easy and i recommend it to everyone

I have an Alexa. I love it. Listening to music would keep me awake only because I tend to focus on the lyrics. Instead, I gave her play “Brown Noise.” This helped! It’s sound to block everything else out.

I would suggest to memorize that soothing and calming song that you listen to, and play that before you go to bed. Disconnect from your phone since it will give you better sleep but since you play the guitar, practice whatever song that you listen to on your guitar without using your phone.

You can also just freestyle, come up with whatever sound that can help with relaxation, I believe that would be better and also fun.

To Be honest, there is nothing like snoozing with my earbuds on while some low-volume music plays. But I have come to discover that sleeping while listening to music could not only impair hearing but could also disturb sleep due to the possibility of things like loud sounds suddenly playing in from sounds of the hard rock genre; I recommend you chill without the headphone and let your brain get the rest it needs. but if you find it difficult I suggest the timer option on some phones that stops all media like music so you can get the sleep you deserve
😀

Either an mp3 player or cds/vinyls would be a good option. But to be honest I do the same thing every night, since it helps my insomnia so maybe you could set a sleep timer

Music can be soothing and relaxing, there's nothing wrong with listening to music before bed. But instead of using earphones/airpods, try playing it on your phone at a faint volume and keeping it next to you.

Well, I can’t say I don’t have the same habit but I have come up with many other productive habits to practice in my spare time, such as reading, reading is very fun and also educational! Knitting and crocheting are also fun to do! I hope you enjoy my answers! Have a beautiful day! 🙂

Music is a good thing to refreshment. But sometimes music is not good for you. But if you like music a lot so you have to download Spotify and make your own playlist than you will enjoy music…. Sorry for my bad english

I like to listen to sleep casts from headspace. You can choose a scene and they help you fall asleep. It goes from talking like setting the scene or story telling to just ambiance or sounds that are in the scene. I’m usually sleeping before the sounds come on. They’re great! You should try it!

I love it too but when it’s time to sleep I put it away because it makes me feel tired and when I can’t fall asleep I start reading my books or I’m just thinking about something (this isn’t a tip I’m just saying)

I suggest you do the one two three method what you do is no more food for three hours before bed and do something like yoga two hours before bed and no more cellphone one hour be fore bed!

I usually read for about 20 minutes. At that point I'm too sleepy to continue so I just play some relaxing music(no lyrics) for about 10 mins. So I see nothing wrong with a bit of music whe you fall asleep.

get a speaker to avoid the blue light on your phone and set a sleep timer so you dont have to go on your phone to turn it off

Put aside your phone, look at the ceiling and cry. Sometimes you are too busy with your schedule until you forget to check on how you feel

I wouls suggest to click off the phone, plug it in so its charged and ready for tomorrow, and read a book or let your thoughts wander, sing aloud if you want to. You just need to learn to disconnect and once you can do that, you can do anything

Keep the music is my suggestion. But keep the phone on the other side of the room maybe? That way it'll be hard to get to.

So I’m the type of gal to do the same but when my phone is not available or not at my grasp then I like to listen to the crickets chirping or I like to reflect on my day and think of what I could have handled better.drinking water ,reading ,writing or yoga are some of the ways that help me sleep.

Ahmm, I also do that to make me sleep faster. I listen to… some classical music or nature music it's so calm and relaxing try to do it on spotify they have sleeptimer so this cannot bother you while you are sleeping
