Notifications, vibrations, and the temptation to check the screen can interrupt deep and REM sleep. Over time, poor sleep may contribute to tiredness, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, lower productivity, and weaker immunity.
Experts recommend avoiding screens for 30–60 minutes before bedtime. Reading, relaxing, or listening to calming music can help the brain prepare naturally for sleep.
Charging the phone across the room or outside the bedroom can reduce nighttime distractions. A traditional alarm clock may also help remove the habit of checking messages immediately before sleep or after waking.
