When you realize how late you are up going through your phone. You realize it needs to change. So before you attempt to go to sleep. Put your phone on airplane mode so it doesn't recieve notifications. Mute all ringtones except for your alarm.

by not deciding to ask quesions like this on sites on the internet. but in all seriousness, get all the stuff you wanna do on your phone done during the daytime. now if you like to have this during the night, maybe had a busy day, like to relax, then just try to put it somewhere else. let it go, get a good nights sleep and itll effect decision making later on :)

Smartphone and internet addiction is real. If being on your phone is cutting into sleep and feels difficult to control or put boundaries around, this may be a sign that you need some help. Recognizing there is a problem is the first step!

Well, summoning the willpower is the hardest thing to do but here's a tip. I have a hard time waking up in the morning. So what I do is I set the creepiest alarm on full volume and put my phone as furtherest away from me as possible. This way, I jump out of bed to go snooze it! I sometimes dismiss the alarm completely and go back to sleep but that's another matter with relation to the will power!

It's hard because the phone is such a mobile device and therefore you can take it anywhere anytime. But it is possible to just put it down and go to sleep, one way to do this might be to put it in another room before you sleep so you aren't tempted to pick it up straight away. Another way might be to leave it across the room, if you use it as an alarm clock this might be best as it keeps it away from you but also makes sure you get up and have to walk to turn off the alarm in the morning.

Turn off the sound on your phone and put it in the other end of the room, and then when you lay down in your bed, you'll be too lazy to get up and get your phone.

I have learned to turn off all sounds on my phone while I am sleeping. Many phones have a "do not disturb" setting. I would still find myself checking facebook or email any time I woke up to use the restroom. This was just as harmful to a goodnight's rest. I told myself, "any post that is interesting will still be there tomorrow". If I am really struggling to put the phone down I will charge it in another room and turn my alarm setting volume up to the max so I can still here it in the morning.

Its matter of discipline and some habits are difficult to change..and change from bad to good takes efforts. .so first mentally be ready to follow a schedule ..try for 2 days week then slowly increase the days and they do it for 21 days at a stretch..simple activity is ...many smartphones come up with scheduled off timer and on timer just do that and whenever your phone turn on the off timer ..be sure to keep your phone away...also if you want play light instrumental music that generates good sleep (available on YT) and listen it to it...it will stop automatically and you will fall sleep... also make sure you change your status on social networking app.. "phone off till morning" so they don't disturb you. Try and let me know how it works for you :)

First of all, try to practice turning your phone off at least 30 minutes before bed at the same time everyday. Place your phone away from you or give it to someone to keep during the night. Then, you're temptation to pick up your phone in bed might be curbed.
