turns out the rumors are true and looking at screens before bed is bad for you. i sleep substantially better if i read for the 30-60 mins before bed. wonder what other conspiracies are true… working out in the morning instead of at night… probiotics…
whenever I read before bed instead of scroll or YouTube, I wake up so much more refreshed and always more naturally vs groggy and fighting the snooze button
my current bedtime ritual is that I have an automation on my phone to put it in grayscale at a certain time after sunset to get me not to look at it so much after dark. i like to read in bed and listen to ambient music for like 30 min to an hour each night before bed when i can and it helps quiet my mind but also makes me actually tired. there's a noticeable difference in how fast i am able to fall asleep when i do this vs staying up in bed watching videos and scrolling
I read before going to bed instead of staring at social media for 2+ hours before shutting my eyes and goddamn it all, I slept so fucking good.
All those experts are right.
