Use Do Not Disturb Schedule for Better Sleep

The Problem

Notifications wake you at 2 AM. You check your phone and can't fall back asleep.

The Hack

Set up scheduled DND: iPhone: Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb > Schedule. Android: Settings > Sound > Do Not Disturb > Schedules. Allow calls from favorites.

Why It Works

Blue light and notification anxiety disrupt sleep cycles. Automatic DND eliminates both while still allowing emergency calls from starred contacts.

Pro Tips

• Allow repeat callers (2 calls in 3 min) for true emergencies
• Set it once — runs automatically every night
• Also reduces late-night doom scrolling temptation
• Combine with Night Shift/blue light filter
