I know it's best to avoid using blue light-emitting devices before bedtime. So, how do you all deal with smart devices? What general approaches do you use to regulate sleep or methods like getting used to automatic modes? I want to create a custom night mode—any advice?
What are some sleep routine tips for smart devices?

Struggling with devices when it comes to sleep is everyone's problem, bro. I also noticed my sleep quality hit rock bottom after spending long nights scrolling YouTube. In my opinion, the biggest savior is the night‑mode filter on smart screens. After I switched my phone to night mode, I immediately felt sleep coming on. My tip: set the screen temperature around **3500–4000 K** and drop the brightness to the lowest level. That way the blue light hardly bothers you at all. I also enable the same night mode on my smartwatch and switch to a “sleep‑focused mode” an hour before bedtime, so the devices keep you as passive as possible.
One of the best methods for me is setting up automatic routines. For example, my phone goes into night mode synced with the alarm time. I also keep unused devices away from the bedroom—at least I don’t leave them near the bed. Someone once told me “devices can’t be turned off, they’re not forgotten,” but I’ve seen that even just dimming the screen to a minimum and leaving them in silent mode makes a huge difference. You don’t have to rely on apps to create a custom night mode; optimizing the basic settings of your devices is enough.
