Setting up a digital sunset

Choose a time each evening when screens begin to wind down, ideally an hour before bed. Set a gentle reminder on your phone. When it goes off, finish what you are doing and start closing apps instead of opening new ones.

Prepare a replacement ritual so the evening does not feel empty. A book, a warm shower, stretching, a puzzle, or conversation can all fill the space that scrolling used to take. Having something pleasant ready makes the change easier.

Start gradually if a full hour feels impossible. Even fifteen screen free minutes can help. Notice how you sleep and feel in the morning, and adjust. Sensitive systems often appreciate a slower, softer transition into rest.

From the Infused Lights crystal shop

If an object helps you come back to the floor beneath you, a grounding stone can sit in your palm or pocket as a cue to slow down and feel where you are.

Pick a last light

Choose a clock time when intense feeds end. Move the charger out of reach if you can. Consciousness content counts as intense when it spikes your system.

Replace, do not only remove

Tea, stretch, paper book, evening review. Empty hands need a kind substitute.
