Posting for traffic. I am constantly on my phone and am really struggling with it. I can watch a film or a series as constantly having to pause to check my phone.

I deleted Instagram and Facebook to help with this but now I just flick between daily mail app and mumsnet, almost any spare time I have. My screen time is at 6 hours per day.

I can almost deal with that during the day but at night I come to bed at 10 and can stay up till 1 am just scrolling through my phone.

When speaking to people in uni it surprised me that quite a few of them said they put their phone down after a certain time say 8 pm and then don't look at it until the next morning. I find that hard to believe, especially in this generation.

I really would like to get away from my phone, at least at night so I can unwind and watch a film.

Can I ask then what your nighttime routine or rules you set for yourself with your phone are? For instance do you not take it to bed or do you turn it off after a certain time? Or are you like me and take it to bed and scroll for hours?

Just genuinely interested to see and to figure out what's best for me in breaking the habit. I have the best of intentions a lot of the time but I really struggle not having my phone with me. Pathetic really.

I have the Kindle and Libby apps on mine so I use it to read a few chapters of a book, then put it down when tired and go to sleep. And it's on DND too.
