Depends on when you would like to wake up/go to bed. For example I like to go to sleep by 10 so my phone gets put away at 9.
I am a 28 year old. I don’t currently have children which i believe gives me more time to sit and scroll through the nonsense of social media. I find it difficult, but when I unplug around 9:00pm, i find i sleep better and feel better about my evening. Sometimes, i even get things done such as cleaning or a journal entry. My goal is to eventually get to 7pm unplug but one step at a time.
I say 8:00PM. If you are thinking of sleeping at 10:00 stop at 8:00 and read a book, or lay flat on your back and just stare at the ceiling milling over your day, or if you want to be a little tired before bed do a simple exercise no jumping or parkour just some movement to get ur blood flowing.
Well maybe 2 hours before you go to bed in that time you could read your book it might be long reading a book for 2 hours so you could bake something or have a night snack
I usually stop about an hour before my bedtime, but as much as I’d like to completely stay off my phone when I get to bed I can’t bc my boyfriend and I try to call each other so we can sleep together because neither of us can sleep without eachother
My husband and I have a rule of 9:30, which is about an hour and a half to two hours before we go to sleep. Unfortunately, I listen to a guided meditation before I go to sleep… which is on my phone. So it’s not an entirely set rule. Just not actively on the phone after 9:30.
About an hour before when you want to fall asleep. Its best to plan for 8 hours sleep, so when you should go to bed depends on when you have to wake up. It takes time for our minds to Wind down from even the smallest bit of stimuli. Trade scrolling through your phone for something calmer on your brain like a book or a pod cast or a pre set play list.
I stop using my phone anytime from half an hour to an hour before I go to sleep. So I usually stop using it when I start my night time routine.
I turn off my phone as soon as I go through the door of my bedroom to go to bed. My bedroom is my sanctuary and keeping my phone out, keeps me more relaxed.
I’ve had better results when I put my phone away as soon as I come home and plug my phone in to charge. I’m much more productive because i’m not distracted and checking my phone during tasks. But sometimes I need to be so I shoot for atleast an hour before bed.
