COLUMN: Unplugging before bed actually works? What a horrible discovery
It’s something we’ve read about for years now, collectively, isn’t it? Turn down the screen use for a better sleep, the researchers say. Well, easy to say, but so much harder to do as everything from phone calls to shopping lists are now online.
I walk around my suite like a tourist dropped on a deserted island, searching for a signal most days. After a few days of waking up feeling gloriously recharged, I started to realize that there must be a connection, so to speak. I was needing less caffeine, I was arriving to work earlier than usual, and by the time I had eaten dinner and read for a few hours, I was heading to bed early and falling asleep easily.
Then at home, I usually would fire up my laptop while also keeping an eye on my cell. All the while, I’d be running the obligatory “guilt” program in the back of my mind, thinking of all the things I could be doing instead of whatever that was.I hiked a very small mountain, twice. I gave myself a proper manicure. I got up early one morning and made brownies. I read half of Great Expectations, along with several other books I’ve been ploughing through.
I am a puzzler. I love every sort of puzzle and game you could divine. I’ve written about that previously when Wordle was sold to the New York Times, so I won’t rehash it.
