A young woman waking up happily and stretching in bed as the morning sunlight streams into her bedroom.

I developed a bad habit of doomscrolling in bed once the lights were out, and it's been ruining my sleep and energy levels the next day. And I'm not alone in this: over one-third of US adults doomscroll in bed, according to a recent survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

Hunting for a solution to kick my bedtime doomscrolling habit, I downloaded the Google Clock app to my Pixel phone. I wasn't expecting much at first, but since using five overlooked sleep features in the app, I've finally kicked my in-bed phone use habit. The pay-off? I'm now falling asleep faster and sleeping through the night.
