If you want movies to watch, postpone the whole thing for the next day. In fact, you should lock out any electronic and electrical device of the bedroom.
The latter is a space of resting, not a cinema where there are some good movies to watch. You might feel relaxed while watching TV in bed, but you are actually urging your mind to stay awake.
#3 – Staring at the clock

Tic Toc, Tic Toc… Such a disturbing sound! When silence conquers all at night, especially if you live in a quiet neighborhood, all that you can hear is the clock ticking, and maybe some dogs barking.
Sometimes, you’d go to bed and keep staring at the clock, wondering ‘when am I going to fall asleep?’. The bad news is that this will make enjoying healthy sleep hours even harder. A healthy way to sleep consists of avoiding checking out the time every five or ten minutes.
Checking the clock generates a sleep-related –anxiety which will deprive you of the rest you need to have. Next time, go to bed, set your alarm and turn your back on the clock!
#4 – Starting an argument with your partner

A friendly and honest question: do you usually argue with your partner in bed, and always wonder about how to stop arguing with someone you love? Well, even if you don’t, many folks still do. Many couples reserve their bedtime for arguments over silly stuff.
Psychologists stress the fact that having unnecessary heavy conversations right before bedtime spoils the sleep cycle massively.
The bedroom is supposed to be a stress-free zone, not a conflict zone. Instead of being asleep, your mind would be busy processing the responses and reactions of your partner. So do you really need this?

We are sorry to bring this up to you Mr or Ms important social media manager and influencer, but your social media apps are depriving you of having the sweetest time ever in life; sleep time. It is funny how we’d hurt ourselves and throw the blame on a machine.
