The 5-minute wind-down timer that actually fixed my bedtime scroll
I used to lie in bed and lose an hour to random videos without noticing the time. Last month I set a simple 5-minute timer on my phone before picking it up, and when it goes off I put it on the nightstand, no exceptions. It sounds too basic to work, but the alarm breaks the trance better than any app lock I tried. Has anyone else found a boring, low-tech trick that beats the fancy screen-time tools?

Dude, I feel this so hard. I did the exact same thing with a cheap kitchen timer I kept on my nightstand, and it worked way better than any app that tries to block stuff. It's like the physical sound snaps you out of the zombie mode in a way a notification never does. Honestly, my screen time report looks like a completely different person now.
