Right.

Do that in bed, out of bed, wherever you want.

That's fine.

Usually that's not taking up so much time.

Right.

And it's not interfering with your ability to sleep.

Sometimes it can help your ability to sleep.

But...

That's fine.

It's distractions.

So distraction, the activation, all of this stuff, you're adding energy in instead of taking energy out.

Relaxation is fine to do in bed, but if it's brief, if you're spending a half an hour meditating in bed, that might be a little too long.

I know people who like, they have this whole hour long routine that they do.

Like by the time that hour is done, the bed is no longer predictably tied to sleep anymore.

So yeah, it's about, it's about getting this stuff out.

It doesn't, I'm not saying don't be on your phone, but I mean, I actually think there's the sleep field telling everyone get off their phone for an hour before going to bed is not a helpful recommendation because no one's going to follow it.

We should be talking about how to do it safely in a way that's not going to get in your way.

Yeah.

And also it's what you're doing that's important.

You might want to create sort of boundaries.
