"I use my phone to help me fall asleep"

Literally makes zero sense

I have my favourite YouTube comedy show, I know nearly every episode of it by heart. I usually set mpv to stop in an hour and it helps me fall asleep really well. I usually use a laptop, but I think I only need the audio and I can use a phone too when I'm not at home.
Yes, I do have all of its episodes on my phone with me, but I've also made it available over HTTP so I can access it from anywhere without using YouTube 😂

I don't really like having formed this habit TBH — but it work, it's still better than sleep pills, booze and other such things.

@m0xee it's a little different from the case I'm referring to. While probably not ideal at least the content is familiar and under your direct control. Also if you set it up and don't need to swipe, tap, click, or otherwise interact at least it isn't demanding your continued participation. I'm more referring to people who scroll socials which are specifically designed to grab attention and are laced with psychological manipulation you probably shouldn't consume in an alpha state

Yep, familiar content is the key — I might still have a laugh or two, but otherwise I can always tell what's going to happen next and my mind stops wandering.
Scrolling social media — is a recipe for not getting any sleep, a perfect disaster: you see something and you start coming up with a response immediately, start typing it, realize that it wasn't your plan, but switching away from it gets pretty difficult — drowsiness ruined 😞
