This is good advice. Screen time before bed or after waking up really is a crappy way to end or start the day.

One of the better changes I made in early 2017 was a consistent “no internet the first hour I’m awake” policy, above and beyond more typical no-phone-by-bed, Focus.app, etc. When sleepy, it’s so easy to allow my goals to be subverted, mind buzzing with trivia.

I should clarify: screen time is fine with me—if I’m working on a project or sketching ideas. But surfing the internet or consuming media is what I have to avoid. Too easily manipulated when sleepy.

That seems very reasonable! Working on ideas is good, jamming hot takes into your brain right after waking up may not be! :)
