When your phone is the first thing you see in the morning, you’re likely to start your day distracted. Checking emails, messages, or social media before breakfast can increase stress and reduce focus.
How to Sleep Better Without Your Phone
1. Charge Across the Room
Keep your phone away from your bed to resist late-night checking.
2. Use “Do Not Disturb” Mode
Silence notifications while sleeping so your rest isn’t interrupted.
3. Invest in a Real Alarm Clock
Old-school alarm clocks let you wake up without relying on your phone.
4. Create a Digital-Free Wind-Down Routine
Read, journal, meditate, or stretch 30–60 minutes before bed to prepare your mind and body for sleep.
Bottom Line
Sleeping with your phone may seem convenient, but over time it can affect your sleep quality, mental health, and safety. Small adjustments — like keeping your phone across the room and turning off notifications — can dramatically improve your rest and overall well-being.
Your phone can wait — your sleep can’t.
