You put your phone down.
But your mind is still going.

If you’ve ever ended the scrolling, turned off the screen, and still found yourself lying in bed with a busy mind, a restless body, or that frustrating tired-but-wired feeling, this book is for you. Sleep After Screens is built around a problem most screen-time advice misses: stopping the phone is not always enough. Sometimes the real challenge begins after the screen is off.

In this practical guide, Meera Tharshan helps readers understand the carryover evening screen use leaves behind: mental noise, emotional activation, fragmented attention, and the uneasy state where your body is tired but your mind is still switched on. Instead of pushing extreme digital detox rules or perfection-based routines, this book shows you how to create a realistic bridge from screen use to sleep.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• understand why your mind stays active after screen use
• reduce the mental and emotional residue your phone leaves behind
• recover more quickly from overstimulating evenings
• create a buffer between your last input and sleep
• build a simple, repeatable wind-down that works in real life
• calm your system even on imperfect nights when you still used your phone
• make sleep feel easier to reach without forcing a perfect routine

This book is especially helpful for readers who think:

• “I stop using my phone, but my mind stays awake.”
• “I need help coming down after screens.”
• “I want a better bridge between screen use and sleep.”

You do not need to eliminate screens completely.
You do not need a perfect evening.
You do not need to force sleep.

You need a way to come down.

Sleep After Screens will help you build calmer nights, softer transitions, and a more realistic path from phone use to real rest.
