💤 3 Simple Evening Habits to Reduce Screen Time and Sleep Better

digital detox✨ Want to sleep better tonight? Start by putting your screen to bed before you.

In today’s always-on world, screen time is often the last thing we reduce before going to sleep—and it’s costing us our rest. Here are three simple yet effective habits you can start tonight to give your brain a break and your body better sleep:


1. Wind Down with Warm Lighting

Swap out harsh overhead lights and blue-light-heavy screens with warm-toned lamps or candlelight. Studies show that warm light helps stimulate melatonin production, which prepares your body for rest.

👉 Try dimming the lights an hour before bed.


2. Try a Digital Sunset

Set a "digital curfew"—a time when all screens go off. Whether it's 30 minutes or 2 hours before sleep, this window lets your brain shift from alertness to relaxation. Replace that screen time with light stretching, reading a paper book, or journaling.

🕯️ Create a calming ritual you look forward to.


3. Use Blue Light Blockers

If you can’t avoid screens entirely at night, try blue light-blocking glasses or enable Night Shift (iPhone) or Night Light (Android) on your devices. These features filter out the disruptive blue light that affects your circadian rhythm.

😎 Your eyes—and your sleep—will thank you.


🌿 Final Thoughts:

Small changes lead to better sleep. Give your mind a break from glowing screens and let your body settle into a restful night—naturally.
