The Digital Sunset: Why Your Evening Ritual Starts at 8 p.m.
Choose a time. Dim the lights. Put the phone to bed before you do. The simplest ritual on this site might be the most powerful.
A digital sunset is a fixed time each evening when screens go away. Its benefits are partly practical, since bright light and stimulating content late in the evening can delay sleep, and partly symbolic: it marks the end of the day’s demands.
Pair it with something tactile: tea, a paper journal, a candle, a few pages of a book. The ritual works because it gives your mind a clear signal that the day is done.
