Use Digital Wellbeing Features

It’s not the healthiest thing in the world to stay up all night texting and doomscrolling. Android's Bedtime mode is part Google's Digital Wellbeing initiative. Not only does it silence your phone at a set time, it also changes the screen to grayscale, in case you must look at the screen after hours.

You can also swap to Dark Theme during Bedtime mode, or just outright set your phone screen dark and enjoy some peace. There’s a Pause option in the dropdown menu if you need more time before retiring. If you're looking for more sleep tips, you should read our feature on how tech can help (and hurt) your sleep.





Focus Mode

Another recommended Wellbeing feature is Focus mode, which silences noisy apps’ notifications for a time you schedule. Some phones,  turn on Do Not Disturb mode when you set them down with the screen facing down—a quick and easy way to get relief from disturbances.

Finally, using Work Profile hides all those productivity apps when it’s time to relax.
