Set blue light filter to the screens

Installing a night mode (blue filter) on the devices will help to avoid this, as well as auditing the bed for light sources with a blue spectrum: charging LEDs, air conditioning, etc. Remember that it is not the brightness that matters, but the spectrum. Even dim light or a blue LED can affect sleep hormone production.

Prepare a place to sleep For example - use comfortable bedding: mattress, pillow, etc.

Set Do Not Disturb Mode on your smartphone

It’s a pity to wake up to unnecessary notification, or some app push

Delete social media apps

Instead of apps, you can use the web versions of these services. It will be a little inconvenient, which is exactly what we need. Unwanted and risky behavior and should not be comfortable.

Turn off notifications (most of them) very few notifications really help

New email (desktop/smartphone)

Social network apps

Everything that does not help you to survive

Most common cognitive bugs that do not allow people to switch off notifications:

“I’m so special! I can’t just turn me notifications off. I can miss something urgent I feel so lonely when my smartphone is silent

Real thinking process starts 10-25 min after the last distraction. For most people it means never. Thanks to all those notifications and instant messaging

Try to live at least a couple of days without notifications maybe you’ll be surprised.
