-Avoid using screens near bedtime
Also using something like f.lux to reduce blue light on the screen when sun goes down (lot of phones have it built in too now)
HatBeard-
Yeah, I think just generally putting my phone down as much as possible in the evening is good for me - I'll often leave it on charge downstairs rather than on my bedside table.

blue light
All that seems to be challenged recently: https://time.com/5752454/blue-light-sleep/
The main reason for avoiding screens before bed is they provide too much (mental) stimulation. Doomscrolling TwitterOmicronCovidFuckwittery is not good for relaxation (unlike reading, even on a device like a Kindle).
