How this helps
You are building your ability to understand health information.
Start simple: Screens are not automatically bad. The question is whether they are helping you rest, learn, connect, and feel okay.
You plan to sleep, then short videos keep going for another hour.
Charge the phone away from bed for 20 minutes. · Use a 'last video' timer. · Replace one scroll session with music, stretching, or a shower.
Myth: If I can still wake up for school, scrolling late is not affecting me. Reality: Sleep quality can affect mood, attention, and stress even when you technically wake up on time.
I am trying to reset my sleep and phone habits. Can you help me make a plan that does not feel like punishment?
