    I sleep with the telly on but i do try to limit the phone as i find that has way more of an impact than the telly.

    I frequently think 'I'm gonna go to bed early tonight' and then find myself two hours later watching Youtube videos :expressionless:
    I know you fought hard as hell

    but let this sink in

    you do not have to fight by yourself

    Use my phone tell I can no longer keep my eyes open and then I put it down. Usually watch childhood shows just to decrease nightmares before falling asleep

    Want to hurt me… go ahead
    Wish to bully me…I’m used to it
    Want to talk crap about me…go on then
    Want to make me cry…feel free

    I’m so bad with this. (She says at almost 4am 🤣) I do have a blue light filter on my phone but i dont know how much difference that makes. I don’t like just lying in the dark alone with my thoughts.

    I always try to sometimes limit my usage with tech before bed but recently I have been doing such a bad job at it mostly because I am always watching Youtube shorts a lot before bed (mostly those satisfying videos I find them so so addictive). I used to read before bed a long time ago :joy: but i don't know what happened now xd. I also need some background ambience sometimes because if I am in bed with nothing on sometimes my thoughts will also decide to party :joy:.
