This episode explores how late-night screen use — even when we think it’s “relaxing” — actually keeps the brain overstimulated, delays melatonin production, and makes it harder to fall asleep peacefully. While the body may be lying in bed, the mind is still processing notifications, news, and endless scrolling. The solution isn’t extreme — it’s simply creating a screen-free buffer before sleep. By putting devices away 20–30 minutes before bed and replacing them with calm rituals like stretching, deep breathing, journaling, reading, or silent resting, the brain finally receives the signal that it’s safe to slow down. Takeaway: Rest doesn’t begin when the lights go out — it begins when you disconnect from noise. A simple nightly digital detox allows you to trade overstimulation for peace, and exhaustion for true restoration.
