Goddamn it, that's the story of my life post smartphones...

Eh, before smartphones I did this with books.

"Just one more chapter, then sleep."

...

"Damn, this is the climax, I can't just stop reading now."

...

"Shit, is that the sun?"

I have done this my whole life. My brain hates to shut off.

My non-existent friends always praise me for my ability to stay off my phone but it's not like I spend all that free time doing something productive instead. I'm not. I'm on my computer either watching YouTube, Porn or stirring up shit on Lemmy.

I recently set a sleep mode on my phone that restricts me from using my more addictive apps after a certain time. It also turns on do-not-disturb and the eye shield for the night. I can still access apps that are OK for me to use at night but no longer play addictive games or scroll through Lemmy for all hours.

Thanks! This is the post that made me decide to put down my phone for the night. Wish me luck!

Fuck you. I'm going to bed.
