What do you do for two hours before bed with no screen time? Read physical material? I'm not sure what I would do to wind down before bed besides reading or watching something. I do find that I need a similar amount of down time before bed after more engaging activities like going out or playing video games online. I usually try to read longer form articles or watch tv. I'm not sure what else I'd do around the house for that amount of time every night.
- djha-skin 3y agoI bought a kindle and read programming books on it. I have to stay away from thrillers, fiction, etc., they're almost as bad as screens for driving my heartrate up. But I've really enjoyed the 10-30 minutes making myself smarter while actively helping me sleep that Kindle provides.
- latentcall 3y agoI do this with history books. Right now reading Justinian by Peter Harris. I find history doesn't get my heartrate up at all and I can stop reading when I want.

- prometheus76 3y agoMy wife and I have been playing chess, and I'm usually reading a light book of some kind between moves. We also usually have some relaxing music playing and not many lights on. We even turn all the lights off and just play chess using a kerosene lamp or candles. It's quite relaxing.
- davkan 3y agoHonestly I can't think of many things that would keep me up and engaged much more than chess. But I only play online rapid matches, I could see it being more relaxing playing with a loved one by candlelight.
