Screens Down, Eyes Closed: Evening tech rules that actually stick

Lena Fairwood

The glow of one more screen always feels harmless, until bedtime keeps sliding later and everyone is wired instead of rested. This is a workable path to actual evening rules: why blanket bans usually fail within a week, the small environmental shifts that cut the pull of a phone without a fight, how to set a wind-down window kids and adults can both live with, and what to do when someone breaks the rule. Practical, calm, and built for real households.
