Digital Sunset Buffer Window
A digital sunset buffer window is thirty to sixty minutes of low-stimulation activity between last screens and sleep so alertness can fall naturally.
A digital sunset buffer window is the thirty-to-sixty-minute glide between last intentional screen use and lights out—dim lights, warm lamps, paper book or stretch, not one more scroll that spikes alertness. Buffers protect melatonin timing and let attention residue from work drain before bed.
Set a recurring alarm labeled sunset, not bedtime. Charge devices outside the bedroom when possible.
Common questions
-
What if I must work late sometimes?
Shrink the buffer rather than skip it—even fifteen minutes of dim light and no social feeds helps. Return to full buffer on normal nights.
