Why You Should Never Look at a Screen Before Bed

Why do you wake up every morning feeling like you got hit by a truck? The answer is right in your hands – literally. Scrolling on your phone at night isn't just stealing your time; it's pure biological sabotage against your brain. In this video, we expose how blue light destroys your melatonin levels and shatters your sleep cycles. We explore what the world's leading neuroscientists say about the devastating mental and physical effects of sleep deprivation, why the "I'll sleep when I'm dead" productivity myth is a lie, and how you can apply the discipline of the ancient Stoics—including Marcus Aurelius—to take back control of your nights and your future. You don't need willpower; you need a new system.
