Do you often wake up groggy from late-night notifications? 

Are you constantly checking your phone when you should be sleeping?

Here's a Cool Tip:  Sleep Mode.

Sleep Mode, also known as Bedtime Mode on some devices, is a feature designed to minimize smartphone-induced sleep disruptions. 

It typically silences notifications, dims the display, and reduces blue light emission, creating a more sleep-conducive environment. 

By limiting disturbances and exposure to stimulating content, Sleep Mode helps users wind down and maintain healthier sleep patterns.

Here's how to do it.

For Android Devices:

1. Access the "Settings" app on your smartphone.
2. Scroll to "Digital Wellbeing & parental controls."
3. Tap on "Bedtime mode."
4. Set your preferred start and end times.
5. Choose options like enabling Do Not Disturb and applying a grayscale display to reduce screen brightness.

For iOS Devices:

1. Launch the "Health" app.
2. Tap "Browse" and select "Sleep."
3. Under "Your Schedule," tap "Full Schedule & Options."
4. Turn on "Use Schedule for Sleep Focus."
5. Adjust settings like Wind Down time and Sleep Goal.

Incorporating Sleep Mode into your nightly routine can substantially improve sleep quality by reducing smartphone-related disruptions. 

By customizing settings to fit your lifestyle, you can create a more restful environment conducive to better sleep.
