Cell phones are a huge detriment to a good rest.

Are you tired of not feeling rested? That phone stuck in your hand could be a huge culprit.

Don’t listen before bed

This is more an essay about sleep quality and rituals than anything else. The format is very dry, with direct quotes with varying sound quality, a bit drastic a change with high quality headphones. Overall informative and a bit unpleasant, because the audio quality was irregular.
