Remember that when you wake up the next morning you'll regret staying up late. You'll have dark circles, headache (horrible one), you'll want to sleep all day long and have almost 0 energy

That's a complicated question to answer blindly, but for starters, install a blue light filter on your mobile to help your body secrete Melatonin better (The sleep hormone). Make a habit of disconnecting your phone from internet an hour before your bed time, and spend that hour reading or doing a light, non-engaging activity to relax your mind (or distract it, if overthinking is the issue). Make sure you exercise with moderate intensity in the morning (yes it helps you in the evening :D) Keep your room quieter, darker, and cooler during that last hour before bed. I hope this helps :)

Put as much distance between you and your phone when you are sleeping. For example, you may want to put your phone in a box, inside another box, inside a cabinet, in a room 2-3 rooms away. When that is done, think about why you feel you need your phone so much. Do you think you are dependent on it? Are you often only dependent on your phone when you are alone for example?Why is that? What can you do in your day-to-day life to practice not being as dependent on your phone? After time, this problem may lessen. Good luck!

I let my phone charge in another room so I do not feel tempted to check it. Especially if someone's messaging me. Put your sleep first!

Turn it off. For the love of God, buy an alarm clock. It's better than having the phone wake you up. Which may interrupt sleep.

I used to have a similar problem where I would spend time on my phone instead of sleeping. I charge my phone at night and I found it very helpful to not sleep in the same room my phone charges. It was hard at first, but after about a week, I got used to it and falling asleep is so much easier now!

If you have this problem then it shows the sign of your addiction towards virtual world. It can be with mobile games, with chating or something else. Just try to keep yourself more busy in real world. It can be with your friends, work, family, sports anything. As soon as you find something more interesting there, things will turn out better.

I set an alarm on my phone called "sleepy time". It goes, off, and the phone goes away. The laptop and tv get turned off - no electronics after that time. I read for about 20 minutes, and sleep is nearly instant when I go to my bedroom.

Yes, this is a tricky one! Well the first step is to want to change. Without this need or desire you might struggle. Maybe, at night before you go to bed, switch off your phone and leave it another room, maybe to charge. This way the temptation is no longer by your bed. Switching it off will stop you being distracted should it beep. If you live with another person, maybe let them know that your in this situation, and ask if they would be kind enough to take your phone off you at a certain time, and give it back at a certain time in the morning. If you don't like by yourself, maybe put it into a place where its not easily accessible, meaning it will be harder to reach at night. Another good tip, is switch off your phone 30 minuets before you go to bed. This gives your body time to relax and tire. Phone screens can sometimes trick the mind into thinking its daylight. Hope this helps :)

You can place your phone far away from your bed, turn the light off and try to sleep. Once you are in bed, you’ll be too lazy to walk and get the phone.
