The Power of Phone-Free Sleep: The Science of Screens, Light, and the Sleeping Brain

Every night, millions of us bring our phones to bed, unaware that a silent battle is underway between the glowing screen and our sleeping brain. In The Power of Phone-Free Sleep, science writer Marcus Reed Halloway distills decades of research into a clear, evidence-informed guide that reveals exactly how screens disrupt our natural sleep cycles—and what we can do about it. Drawing on the consensus of sleep scientists and chronobiologists, Halloway explains the role of blue light in suppressing melatonin, the surprising ways digital content keeps the brain alert, and why willpower alone rarely works. But this book is not about guilt or drastic digital detoxes. Instead, it offers practical, sustainable strategies: from setting a consistent digital sunset to designing a calming wind-down ritual and creating a bedroom environment that truly supports sleep. Whether you're a chronic scroller or just looking to improve your rest, you'll find gentle, actionable advice backed by evidence. Part of The Sagewell Wellness Library.
