It\u2019s a good thing to unplug and disconnect not right before you\u2019re gonna fall asleep because phone screens produce a blue light which is terrible for your eyes and if you see that blue light before you sleep it reflects your sleeping and you can\u2019t get a full and enjoyable to the max sleep.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nicklas F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I&#39;m gonna try about 30-60 minutes before.

During that time I read and relax before I go to sleep. I sometimes do the breathing exercises and just overall get myself ready to sleep.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Zac O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I start around 5 mins before as to start calming my mind. The rest of the calming is done by practicing military sleeping techniques; breathing exercises and counting something imaginary.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anne T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I suggest that you should start the disconnect habit 1 hour before you go to bed. I should do this but its more like 10 minutes. Disconnecting an hour before will give you more energy and more sleep.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elsie J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I need at least an hour. I need to let go of the baggage of the day and get my mind in the proper place before I can relax and fall asleep.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kizia P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">After I disconnect to the social world, I grab a glass of water then put it beside my bed. In that way, I can never forget to drink water first thing in the morning. Then, I unplug or turn off the lights or better yet cover my eyes with a sleep mask to keep my eyes open from the blinking lights in the othe room.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Joel E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I tend to sleep better if I disconnect one hour before going to sleep. Unfortunately I m not always that disciplined, so usually it rather 10 min. During that periode I mediate and just after that I go to bed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Carol J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have an alarm 2 hours before bed to set an alarm for the next morning on my phone, and as soon as I&#39;ve done that at 8pm that&#39;s it for the disconnect. I&#39;ve never done that before and it&#39;s really helping. I write in my journal for 10 mins and the rest of the evening is special cosy time with my family.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Abby Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Generally, I try for about 15-30 minutes before bed. In order to do this, I\u2019ve arranged my nightly routine so I do all of the habits that require my phone first and then I can set my phone aside for the rest of them. This makes it easier to disconnect because I\u2019m not just removing something (my phone), I\u2019m replacing it with other things (journaling, devotions, and the like). Also, if I really need to use my phone during that time, I make sure I only do what I need to and try to be on my phone for as little time as possible.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Romain W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually start the disconnect habit an hour before I go to bed. So for me, I usually go to bed around 10:30 every night so I start the disconnect habit at 9:30. Hope this helps!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ella O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">well i\u2019m not on my phone very often as it is so it\u2019s not very hard for me. but i usually just put my phone on do not disturb at around 8 pm and it doesn\u2019t really matter when you go to sleep. After dinner is a good time<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Franz A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually disconnect 1h before i go to Bed. This 1hour is good for you because you can  interact with the real World again and and you can reach your goals.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jeffrey F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to make it half an hour, as I find an hour is too long and I end up thinking oh I need to check that email and remembering other things I forgot to do, whereas half an hr helps my body wind down for sleep without me remembering too much that I&#39;ve forgotten to do that involves tech. But as early as possible that u can get rid of technology before bed, the better  if you csn get rid of it an hour before, thats great, but if its not working start with 15 mins or even 10 and work your way up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sophia S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I start at around 8 because it takes a a while to disconnect and then when I disconnect at around 8:30 and go sleep at 9:30 \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\udc95\u2728\u2728<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anna Luise Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well I try to do it 30 minutes before and at that time I start to put on my pajamas wash my teeth and so when the 30 minutes have passed I go to sleep otherwise I read or do another activity to complete this habit.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jovelino E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well, i prefer disconnection 30 mins before bed and do other things such as wash face, make bed, read a book or anything that helps me calm down. This way my mind is all relaxed and i am able to sleep better. But obviously, since we all are unique and amazing in our own way, you should try different timings. I would say start disconnecting 1 hour before bed a few days and check the results. If you still cant calm add more time, or if you are sleeping well you can also reduce some time.<\/p>\n<p>Just keep in mind that you are you and unique in your way, following&#x2F;copying what others will make you feel uncomfortable at many times.<br \/>\n     So, in conclusion. Find what fits you by trying a habit for a certain amount of time for a few days, if it doesnt work change time and try it again for a few days. This was you can find the most suitable way of doing a thing for you!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lrc N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I disconnect just when I\u2019m going to bed, I always check my phone before falling asleep and that\u2019s an habit I want to stop but I just can\u2019t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maryam F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It ranges from 20 mins to an hour, I have set a time to be in bed by and from that period is the \u201cDisconnecting habit\u201d.

I find that a set time works best.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elisete Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I start about one hour before going to bed. It helps a lot if you make a routine to wich you stick. You may find out that you need more time or less, it depends from person to person. I need at least an hour so that i have time to prepare properly to go to bed and also it calms me and it is just better for my psyche. Good luck<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Selma F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sometimes it&#39;s an hour, sometimes it&#39;s longer or shorter. I don&#39;t put a limit on it because I use that time to disconnect from the world, and reconnect with myself. I don&#39;t put restrictions on it because it&#39;ll feel more like a chore than a chance to be with myself.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Leon P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well, I generally think that doing it an hour before bed is the most beneficial, but I do still use my device for music or a podcast so I can wind down. The problem with the devices is the blue light that keeps you awake. I like to change the lighting on my phone to a warm tone so if I happen to look, I won\u2019t be disrupted as much<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Celma Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me, disconnecting is mostly about not actively being on or scrolling on social media. My household doesn&#39;t sit well with quiet so we have the tv on or have my earphones in but I try to take time away from social media and unplug for at least an hour before bed so that I can focus on my nighttime routine and not end up staying up way later than I entended just by being on social media.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Flo S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to turn my screens of and read about 30 minutes before i sleep. Reading always tires me if im lying in bed. Lots of the time i fall asleep with it in my hand.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hanan R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would like to disconnect before bedtime in 10 mins, because i always have something to search for and i am so bored these days so i would like to give my self some time scrolling and texting on social media. I always fill my time with studying so i want to do something else before sleeping to relief my anxiety a little and stop thinking of my projects and exams for a while, and most importantly to not dream of them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elis T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me personally, my biggest problem until now was that because I have sleep issues, I tended to grab my phone when I was already in bed and supposed to sleep. Disconnecting for me is that when I lay down, I will not reach for my phone even when I have trouble falling asleep (usually every night and up to even 2 hours). But if you don&#39;t have such a problem, I would advise to disconnect an hour of half before bedtime.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Andrei C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">usually about 10 minutes before it! it&#39;s important to rest your eyes well before sleeping and i wish i could do it even earlier than 10 minutes but you know, you can only break habits a small step at a time \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ahmed X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">That  IS the problem I&#39;m having actually. I don&#39;t disconnect because I&#39;ve experienced a traumatic loss. I feel as if my legs have been knocked out from under me.<br \/>\nI&#39;m having a difficult time<br \/>\nengaging and disconnecting.<\/p>\n<p>I&#39;m in a free fall.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ida O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">i usually give myself 20 minutes off the phone before bed. reading, drawing, anything with low energy, keeping the lights low.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sandy Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I disconnect about half an hour before bedtime.

Taking 2 hours to wind down during that time. I usually read a book and do some body stretches to wind down.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sharandeep N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I normally like to do it around 5PM &#8211; 7PM before I eat my dinner. Which is 2-4 hours before I sleep. It helps with my sleep when I do it then so I prefer to do it around that time!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rasmus Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You should always turn off your electronic items at least 1 hour before going to sleep. As the blue light used on them is what keeps you awake at night  and making you have a diruptive sleep. Try reading. Just something to switch your brain off before sleep.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ana P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to disconnect for 20 ish minutes , because it just gives me time to reflect on life , but if I start feeling guilty or anxious about something I go on my phone to put some music on that helps me calm down<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Vivan T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Usually I start between 30 minutes to an hour before I go to sleep. I like to save myself time each night to reflect on my day and have time to myself without screens.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nick E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would aim to start an hour beforehand to fully disconnect in the best way possible but obviously this isn&#39;t always possible especially if you have extra curriculars or other activities that end late. If this is the case then i would just try and set out a few minutes before you go to bed to unwind without technology whether that is reading, drawing or listening to music, just try and not use a screen for as long as you can before sleeping even if it is just for 10 minutes. Limited screen time before bed will signal to your brain that it is time to relax instead of stimulating your brain further, making it harder to relax.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Christoffer F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">About and hour and a half before bedtime. I start turning the bright lights off and turning a soft light on, lighting a candle and if I have aromatherapy I turn it on to prepare my room with a nice quiet down smell.

In this time you can have a 5 minutes walk, should wash your hands and face too. And drink water too. And can put a water bottle near the bed. So, you will not forget to drink water in the morning. If you are always in a rush in the morning like you go for a job or go to school or college put your next day&#39;s clothes on the table too. So, you will not hurry to find your perfect dress. Try to make your to do list. Don&#39;t exaggerat by listing 10 to 15 items. Start by writing just 3 most important things you need to do tomorrow.

I should do this but its more like 10 minutes. Disconnecting an hour before will give you more energy and more sleep. For me I struggle to feel energized and I have troubles sleeping.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Megan F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have a hard time sleeping so it changes everyday. My app is set to go off at 10 pm and I usually start my habit immediately. Some days I don&#39;t fall asleep till 2 or 3 am.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Crystal O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually choose to disconnect an hour or two before bed \u2708\ufe0f mode and take the to recenter myself. I&#39;m still getting a good habit established but that&#39;s what works for me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Claudemiro I.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I get into bed. Sort everything out I need too(on my phone). But don\u2019t go on my socials then lie down and  relax watching my favourite show till a fall asleep<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Wardiya Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to not touch my phone for atleast an hour before bed but I&#39;m not always consistent and I&#39;m trying to be. First try by not touching Ur media before bed so if u had to touch Ur phone it would be for reasons like writing Ur to do list for tomorrow or setting Ur alarm clock<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Leonor G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me 30min is enough time to disconnect, if you feel that you need more, it\u2019s up to you but give yourself at least 15min before bed to take a break<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ava V.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">45 minutes before bed. It gives me time to say goodnight to my friends and family, brush &amp; floss and journal my thoughts and reflect on my day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lennon Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually am on my phone or laptop at night then I go to the bathroom and get ready which takes about 10 minutes.  Then I mostly read a book for about 10-15 minutes then turn my lights off and go to bed. So I say about 20-30 minutes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Harry G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I do like all my extra ordinary habits after I put my phone away to unwind like brushing me teeth cleaning my face etc. so then j have a good 15-20 minutes to unwind and disconnect<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tynka G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sometimes it&#39;s half an hour, sometimes 15 minutes. It depends on my mood and how much do I want to fit in my bedtime routine<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kaiser I.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well, you need to experience what is good for you. I usually stay with 30 minutes before going to bed. But you need to try out different times so that you know what is the best one for you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sam E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to disconnect about an hour before I go to sleep. This gives me time to take care of myself, read a book, get ready to fall asleep, etc.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Antwan N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I start, I do it like 20mins to 40 mins. Most of the time I listen to music when I sleep so I have to get back on my phone.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rebecca Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I aim for half an hour. This is difficult for me because I like to write and organise in the evening, so I used to use the laptop until very late. But now when I know it&#39;s almost time to go to bed, I just put a point in what I&#39;m doing and start my skincare routine (which is my end of day ritual).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Perry F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Okay so , firstly you should disconnect your phone 1 hour before you go to bed .
