Then set a goal: how long before bed should you be off your phone? What time will you be in bed by? Once you\u2019ve decided what time you\u2019ll be done with your phone, set an alarm. When it goes off, take the phone to its charging spot and leave it there until morning.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Guy F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">By actively setting a timer or reminder for you to go to bed. So you can prepare by realizing that if your bedtime is 8pm then your phone should be off by 6:30 or 7:00pm<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Wendy Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">This one is hard even for me&#8230; Especially if you try to do it by yourself. I live with a good friend, and she helps me. So I would find someone to hold you accountable. If you live with family or have a roommate, even better, so they can be physically there to help you (watch you).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jamila Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hi Fabolous user \ud83d\ude42 before i have to go to bed i check all media, mail, messages, etc. When its time for my bedtime i put my phone aside and just go directly to sleep \ud83c\udf1cHope this is helpful thank you for your question. \u263a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jonat G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I put my phone on \u2018do not disturb\u2019 and don\u2019t check it during the night.

I have a key contacts list so that if I do need to be contacted in an emergency by my family, my phone will only ring or buzz if they message me &#8211; which they never do!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Frank C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well given this app is on you\u2019re phone, this makes it a little hard!

If it\u2019s really important to you not to be on your phone, then it\u2019ll be easy. If you don\u2019t see why you should put it down, or you\u2019re happy with the instant gratification it gives you, then it\u2019ll be hard to convince yourself to put it down. You have to want to put it down.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Roxane I.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use the screen time setting on my phone.

And continues with relaxing and getting both mind and body ready to sleep and rest properly. For me that means reviewing my agenda, setting any alarms or reminders for the next day, plugging in my phone, writing in my gratitude journal, meditating, taking a bath or shower, making sure my water bottle is full and refreshed, putting on my sleep mask and snuggling with my cats until I fall asleep. It doesn&#39;t have to be that long. It can be anything that relaxes you. Painting, reading&#8230; Ideally no sports or screen time at least one hour before you want to sleep! so It&#39;s best to start any routine by getting that out of the way first.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russell J.
