You check your phone before bed.
Just for a minute.
Then more time passes.
You sleep later than planned.
The next morning feels harder.
And the next night, it happens again.
Many people struggle with bedtime phone use.
At night, you are tired. Your willpower is lower. Your phone becomes an easy place to escape from the day.
That is why reducing bedtime phone use requires a gentle transition, not just stronger discipline.
Night phone use easily stretches longer
There are many reasons bedtime phone use continues.
You do not want to prepare for tomorrow.

Create a night break with your cat

Get into bed.
Look at your cat.
