My therapist suggested a 5 minute rule for phone scrolling, 3 weeks later I actually use it

I mentioned in a check-in that I was wasting 2 hours a night on my phone in bed. She said try setting a timer for 5 minutes when I pick it up, then put it down no matter what. First few nights I ignored it. Then I moved the charger across the room and kept a book on my pillow. Now I do about 20 minutes of scrolling total and actually read 30 pages before sleeping. Not perfect, but my sleep score went from 61 to 78 on my watch. Has anyone else tried a time limit that actually stuck? What number worked for you?
