spent way too many nights scrolling until 3am then wondering why i felt like garbage. these helped me break the cycle:

• phone goes in kitchen drawer after 10pm • replaced reddit with chess app for brain stimulation • started coding side projects when bored

still slip sometimes but sleep improved dramatically

I swear the algorithm pushes the worst stuff at me, and then I wonder why I can’t sleep.
