(Tip 11 of 21 biohacking tips)

Okay, real talk: I use my phone before bed all the time. 😬
Scrolling reels, catching up on messages, reading articles—I’ve convinced myself it’s how I “wind down.”
But… it shouldn’t be. And deep down, I know it.

Because here’s the truth: screens before bed are quietly sabotaging our sleep.
Blue light messes with melatonin (the sleep hormone), keeping your brain in “go mode” long after your body is ready for rest.
So if you’re feeling wired at night and groggy in the morning, your screen habits might be the sneaky culprit. 📱🧠💤

But there’s one bedtime rule that actually works:
👉 Screens off at least 1 hour before sleep.

It’s simple. It’s science-backed. And it’s a total game-changer.
When you give your brain a chance to power down without constant stimulation, you sleep deeper, wake clearer, and feel more like you.

Here’s how I’m trying to make it easier (join me!):
🌙 Swap screen time for a real book or some light journaling (remember we talked about it ?)
🌙 Take a warm shower or drink herbal tea (not cold shower because that wakes you up)
🌙 Leave your phone outside the bedroom or switch to airplane mode

Remember, this isn’t about perfection—it’s about protecting your peace.
Better sleep = better everything: hormones, focus, patience, even joy.

So tonight, I’m putting my phone down early. Who’s with me? 👇 Let’s make rest sacred again. 💛

With love,
Kate
