holiday hormone advent calendar - Day 15 ✨ 🚫📱Turn off your phone at least 60 minutes before bedtime 📱🚫 - blue light from devices can raise cortisol and send your body *awake* signals, leading to more sleep difficulties - reading / watching stimulating content can also raise cortisol, leading to imbalances - staying up late doomscrolling cuts into regenerative phases of sleep that are important for your body’s detoxification and healing processes (including a “wash” cycle in your brain and gut!) 📱🚫 Tips to Cut the Scroll 🚫📱 - give your phone a strict bedtime and uphold your own boundaries - set your phone to DND automatically at a certain time every night on social media apps especially - plan to use that time for something you *don’t usually have time for* like reading, journalling, skincare, stretching or something else that pours into your cup! - don’t use your phone as your alarm (I use a sunrise alarm instead and sleep so much better) - leave your phone to charge in another room (def don’t sleep with it beside your head 🥲) Lmk if you’ll try it!! I know this one’s a tough one to break!
