One habit I find often ineffective for falling asleep is the use of screens before bedtime, even if they’re set to “night mode.” Many people believe that just dimming the blue light is enough to help them wind down. However, the stimulation from engaging with social media, videos, or games can actually make it harder to relax and fall asleep. Instead, I find that winding down with a book or practicing mindfulness techniques can be much more effective for promoting restful sleep.
