Digital Sunset

The complete abandonment of all screens two hours before bedtime, replaced by analog activities like reading, conversation, or candlelight.

Why this habit matters

Sleep quality: Removes blue-light melatonin suppression; dramatically improves sleep onset speed and deep-sleep duration
Mental health: Reduces news anxiety and doomscrolling loops; evening peace lowers cortisol before sleep
Relationships: Analog evenings restore genuine presence with family and friends; replaces screen time with eye contact
