    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:

    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
    Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

    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:.
    Just a person who likes pop culture and films

    use it til i fall asleep. due to flashbacks & negative thkughts.
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸
