Psychology says people who stop the use of all kinds of screen devices like TV, phones, tablets, etc. an hour before bed aren't following an unusual habit. Many psychologists and sleep researchers believe this routine helps the brain shift from daytime activity to nighttime rest. Screens have become part of daily life, but they also keep people mentally engaged late into the evening. Notifications, videos, games, social media, and work emails can delay sleep. Creating one hour without screens before bedtime allows the mind to slow down naturally. This simple routine may improve sleep, mood, focus, and overall health over time.
