It doesn\u2019t matter if there\u2019s just 1 minute of my TV show left, I find that I need to stick to my switch-off time the minute the clock strikes and be really strict about it. Otherwise, that one extra minute can become 30, then 60 and so on, and I find that unless I literally yank out the wires and hit the power button on the dot at my scheduled time, it just doesn\u2019t happen for me. I shut down all electricals except for my phone which I use to listen to my sleep story. To keep temptation at bay, I keep my phone somewhere out of arm\u2019s reach while I listen to the audio.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gyan O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">There is no single answer. Just go and meditate. <\/p>\n<p>Removing Apps, Putting phone on flight mode etc is just subsides the distraction. <\/p>\n<p>Best is to replace the screen time, staying connected is to replace with an activity such as meditating.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Theresa L.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I unplug with reading. It&#39;s harder with a toddler. Another issue I have is just not wanting to do it.  I just remind myself that I always feel refresh and ready to do the next task after I give myself a little break and enjoy what I do.  Reading does that for me.  Find something relaxing and you like to do.  Spend 10 minutes everyday in it.  Don&#39;t use TV or other electronics.  It need to be an activity you enjoy as well. Have fun and it&#39;s good to do something for yourself! Never doubt that.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Silas W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Reading. I usually sit down at night with a book in the living room thirty minutes before I have to go to bed.
