Phones charge outside the bedroom
What it is
From school age (teens especially): devices sleep elsewhere, do-not-disturb on. Even unused bedroom devices track with worse sleep.
Always on
- A family charging station outside the bedrooms — parents' phones included.
- An old-fashioned alarm clock removes the last excuse.
