Get the phone out of the bedroom. This is how.
The problem it solves
The phone is the alarm, so the phone is beside the bed, so the phone is the last thing at night and the first thing in the morning. Sleep and mornings both suffer.
What it is
A plain alarm clock with a dimmable display, a loud enough alarm, and battery backup. No apps, no screen glow, no feeds.
Who it is for
Anyone who scrolls in bed and wants to stop, which is nearly everyone.
How to use it so it sticks
Charge the phone in the kitchen from tonight. Set the clock, put a book where the phone was, and keep the display dim. Give it one week before judging.
Who should skip it
If your phone already lives outside the bedroom and you wake fine, you do not need it.
Verdict
The single highest-impact sleep change most people can make, and it costs almost nothing.
