Banish the demon to a far away room and make the bedroom a digital-free sanctuary. Read a physical paper book until you start to get drowsy. Count and focus on your breaths like people do in meditation. Rest ye weary traveler

There are a lot of phone haters on this app and I respect that.
I always thought ppl who slept with their phone out of reach were insane.
I have a hard time waking up in the morning, but I saw this video of this woman saying the sleep you get after your alarm goes off is so bad it’s not even worth it. So set your alarm as late as you can and then just get up. This has really helped me so I don’t care if it’s true and I don’t want to know unless it is.
if the phone is across the room I don’t scroll before bed, which I’m kinda mostly weaned off anyway, but I also don’t get that creepy fake fomo that makes me need to check it one last time before I close my eyes AND I also have to get up to turn the alarm off. And then I have a second to remember it’s not worth getting back in bed.
Sometimes you even get a surprise text or something from after you put it down and that can be fun
I don’t know if phone is more good or bad. Easy to fetishize a “simpler time” I never even lived through. But I think we are in control of our destinies and don’t need it as much as we think. Real life is better.
This was about waking up to alarm but now it’s about phone.
Ps I wrote this standing where I leave my phone for the night

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
