Play calming music instead, the Minecraft soundtrack is what I use, it lets me paint a picture in my head of things going on as it soothes me to sleep, I usually never make it past song 5 lol
Funny you mention that method, I do a similar method myself! I was also told that might be a sign I have undiagnosed autism.
But, with outside life stresses, it’s been harder to accomplish the shut down process lately. But with that said, you’ve convinced me to give it a second try tonight, wish me luck!
I have diagnosed autism and I have the same… Problem? I often have to listen to some music after a busy day or a stressful day in order to be able to fall asleep.
The blue light filter works for some people. Not sure what the iOS equivalent is called but on Android you can just search the settings for Night Light.
I mean, not everyone has the choice to separate themselves from their phones these days. It eventually becomes a habit. Probably also hard to gauge someone else’s stress levels from work.

Leave your phone switched off and outside your bedroom.
It is sadly, inevitable.

Wait, is this linked to autism? I’m on the spectrum and thought this was normal, do people not listen to calming music when they sleep??
People usually do not, no. At least that is what my coworkers and friends say!

The iOS version is called Night Shift, which I have active. Sadly, I might be one of the few unaffected.

No, death is inevitable, this is a choice.

True but I doubt they are an on call surgeon.
If they cannot leave their phone outside their bedroom, they need to be discussing it with a therapist not here.
Never meant to imply they were an, on call surgeon, just difficult for us to judge the why people behave differently than we would.
It’s always easier to judge from the outside, instead of putting yourself in their shoes.
As a Klingon, this point feels like a very Vulcan, hill to die on.
Oh, you are a klingon?
