The urge to use it right before bed (and at the same time wrecking your sleep quality, and then messing with your next day) is huge too.

I don't have a problem with this, at all. With that being said, my phone (OnePlus 7T) has a "Zen Mode" which locks you out of the phone for a set period of time. You can make and receive phone calls, and take photos, but that is it.

I don't use it, as I am not a heavy phone user, but I can see where it may be helpful for some people.
