Common approaches include switching off social media notifications after a set hour, placing mobile phones outside the bedroom and replacing late-night scrolling with analogue activities. Reading physical books, preparing herbal tea or engaging in light stretching are frequently cited alternatives.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1304\" data-end=\"1554\">Sleep specialists highlight that reducing blue light exposure before bed may support healthier sleep cycles.
