I hate the "no phones in bed" rule, and literally everything I do is PC-based or phone-based, so I stare at one screen or another right until I sleep. The f.lux and Twilight (Android) apps have been very helpful at making me feel more naturally tired when I should be.

Additionally, the Sleep as Android app makes for a great way to track and log sleeping patterns, and has a nice adaptive alarm.

I have found that f.lux is not enough. Better than nothing, but not nearly as good as avoiding screens.

If you have trouble sleeping then it is a very good rule.

That's interesting because I tend to use devices in bed too but find my sleep time varies. I'll give the f.lux and Twilight apps a go!
