More on this point, I think it’s important to realize that a lot of technology (like phones) puts you in a “reaction” loop as opposed to your brain’s natural state of “self-entertainment?” for lack of a better term. Thinking is a muscle, you have to work it and looking at memes, tweets, api docs, etc is all fundamentally just reacting to something. Go plan something, design something, anything. But all this comes after sleep. Fix your sleep first if necessary.
