So true. I appreciate the humor. I wonder if this is the worst addiction of our times. I imagine there are more people addicted to their phones / social media than to alcohol or drugs -- because it's so accessible -- almost everyone has a phone now. We need a 12-step program for this. The parents of my 6 year old nephew have withheld phones from him, which I think was a wise choice. He loves books.
Read a book before bed? Add a warm cup of cocoa and yer set! But then, I'm old, so I don't need to worry about most of that doom-scroll stuff because by the time it comes to pass, I'll be dead. Or at least that's the plan.
Have you thought about why you like to doom scroll on your phone before bedtime? A lot of people want their brains to be stimulated and it just happens that phones are an easy way to do just that. News are designed to enrage us, not to comfort us.
Before smart phones, I would sleep on radio channels fainting in the background, just hearing people talk, like white noise. Now, I just loop podcasts, of people talking. It's not that I don't like silence or the thoughts that are running in my head, I can stay phoneless and just sitting doing nothing but I'm a person who's always trying to quench that fire that is called boredom, cause if I don't, I would end up doing very stupid things.
I have been trying to quit my phone. Thanks for the reminder that it’s today’s smoking. I needed to hear that.

This is so on point. And funny! I laughed out loud twice. Thank you for inserting humor in there.

Big fan of blankets, esp where sandwiches are involved. Nice one, Johnny.
