Meditation for disconnecting from your phone before bed
The urge to check your phone one last time before sleep is usually a habit of avoiding silence, not a real need; giving the mind somewhere else to be makes that urge easier to let go of.
Sample session
Put your phone out of reach — not just face-down on the nightstand, but in another room or at least an arm’s length from the bed. Lie down and do four cycles of the 4-7-8 breath: inhale counting to 4, hold for 7, exhale slowly through the mouth for 8. Now, instead of reaching for your phone out of habit, bring your safe place to mind: a real or invented space where you feel completely at ease. Stay there for a few minutes, noticing some sensory detail — a texture, a background sound — instead of running through notifications you haven’t seen. The urge to grab your phone may keep showing up; there’s no need to fight it, just notice it and return, once more, to the safe place and the breath.
