To be annoyed by DH phone scrolling

Every night when we go to bed, DH will sit on his phone and scroll. For like an hour - light on on his phone. I just feel like I can’t relax or sleep. It’s the little movements, light from the phone and knowing he’s up. I told him to stop last night and he slept on the sofa but I’m fed up and want to put a no device in bed rule. I find it really selfish. AIBU? I wouldn’t mind 5 mins but coming to bed with no intention and keeping the other person up feels so selfish to me. I’m just someone who can’t sleep knowing he’s awake.

That would annoy me. I hate mindless scrolling. I also really value the time when my partner and I go to bed where we can chat together and drift off to sleep.

You don’t see that it’s also quite selfish for you to impose a no device in bed rule because YOU don’t like it?
