On my family's iPhones, we have a Shortcut (automation) that kicks in every evening at 9 pm:

1. Turn Mobile Data Off

2. Turn Bluetooth Off

3. Turn WiFi Off

4. Turn AppleTV off (this one is fun because it can cut off a show mid-sentence)

5. Set brightness to 10%.

Then, a reverse of the above at 6am the following day.

Normal phone signal is still enabled for any emergency calls, but most apps become useless without the internet.

That's cool, but also a testament to the adversarial relationship we have with our phones.
