Technology can negatively impact sleep by exposing you to blue light, which suppresses melatonin and delays sleep onset. Notifications and late-night scrolling can also increase mental stimulation, making it harder to wind down. Set a digital curfew at least one hour before bed, use blue light filters, and keep devices out of the bedroom. Replace screen time with relaxing activities like reading or gentle stretching. Track your habits and notice improvements in your sleep quality as you reduce tech use at night.
