How do you fight the temptation to not look at your phone or other electronic devices after going to bed? - eviltoast

Fml the sun’s about to come up and I still can’t fall asleep. Dear Brain, please shut up.

(side thought: was that basically my brain telling itself to shut up? Useless things like this keep me up at night lol…)

Edit: well hello Mr. Sun. Seems like a lot of people leave their phones outside but I feel like it’d add to my insomnia, having me wonder if family might try to contact me with an emergency. Saw some good suggestions so I will definitely give those a try, thank you!

    If turning it off or leaving it in another room isn’t an option, you could let a podcast lull you to sleep.

    I like to listen to The Unbelievable Truth for example. Relatively quiet, not demanding enough focus to keep you awake, but requires some attention so that if you’re doing something else on your phone you’re going miss what’s going on.
    Usually takes me a couple of nights to get through one ~20min episode.
