Things To Do On Your Phone That Won’t Stress You Out Before Bed


We all know that one of the worst things you can do before bed is to use your phone. If you’re busy checking emails, you could spot something a work colleague has sent you and start stressing about tomorrow’s work day before it’s even begun. If you start looking on news websites, you could spot a major news story that will either have an impact on your life or be thought-provoking for a completely different reason.

Even social media apps can stress you out. For example, if you begin to feel FOMO, also known as the Fear Of Missing Out, caused by seeing people enjoying themselves online and wonder why your life isn’t as exciting. Luckily there are some things you can do in the hours before bed that won’t stress you out so much. Here are some suggestions of reasons to switch on your mobile phone before switching off at night.



Play a game


One of the best ways to escape from the stresses of the outside world is to play a game. If you give yourself a simple task to concentrate on, you won’t be thinking about all of the other things in your life that might stress you out before bed. One of the best games to play before bed is bingo.


In this game, you simply need to focus on the numbers that are on your ticket. If one is drawn out of the machine, simply mark it off your ticket. You can now play bingo games for real money online. You can find websites where you can play 5 pound deposit bingo, so you don’t have to spend a large amount to have some fun online.



List things to be thankful for


At the end of the day, it’s only natural to start thinking about what happened during that day. It’s also only natural that some days will have been more enjoyable than others. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t appreciate the good things that happened on those days you might think you never want to think about again.


Challenge yourself every evening to keep a positivity journal, in which you list a certain number of things to be thankful for at the end of each day. These can be something simple as your health or seeing your family.



Write a to-do list for the next day

If you can’t stop thinking about the things you need to complete tomorrow, try and do something constructive rather than get frustrated with yourself. By creating a to-do list, you’re not only helping your future self complete all of the tasks you need to get done tomorrow; you’ll also be helping convince your future self that you’ll be able to get everything you need to get done tomorrow.


Find an app that lets you split each task into bullet points you can tick off when complete. If you’re really concerned about how you’ll be able to find the time to get every task done, you could even download an app to schedule time to complete each task during the day.
