Best quote from How to Fix Your Nap Routine and Stop Scrolling on Your Phone
Real rest requires your brain waves to slow down into the theta and delta ranges. When you’re scrolling, you’re staying in a state of active wakefulness even if you’re lying down, which means your muscles aren't getting the signal to repair.

I have a morning after school before training and night time routine but at night and after school I usually take a nap. So at night I found it hard to fall asleep and after school I like to take a 30-minute nap to rejuvenate my energy for training and studying. But I can't seem to fall asleep and sometimes after school if I can't fall asleep. I just reach on my phone which is bad and I just fall off track of my routine

Frequently Asked Questions
To overcome phone addiction during your routine, try placing your device in another room or using a physical alarm clock. Reaching for your phone when you can't sleep disrupts your sleep hygiene and makes it harder to stay on track with your schedule. Instead of scrolling, try deep breathing or a brief meditation to help your body transition into a restful state without the blue light interference.
Taking an after school nap can rejuvenate your energy for training, but if the nap is too long or too late, it can interfere with your night time routine. This often leads to difficulty falling asleep at your desired bedtime, creating a cycle of insomnia. To maintain daily routine consistency, ensure your naps are strictly timed and don't occur too close to your evening wind-down period.
To successfully use a 30-minute nap to rejuvenate energy, focus on consistent sleep hygiene for students. Create a dark, quiet environment and set a strict timer to avoid oversleeping, which can cause grogginess. If you find yourself unable to fall asleep, avoid the temptation to check your phone, as this keeps your brain alert and prevents the mental recovery needed for your upcoming training and study sessions.
