If you want to escape this loop, you need a strong rule against any screens in , at minimum, your bed, but ideally the entire bedroom.

Music / podcasts / audiobooks are also highly unadvisable.
It is called sleep hygiene and there are many different aspects and rules to this that you can cater to your preference. For example I do use a screen in bed but I have an extreme blue screen filter and also block social media apps- I just listen to stuff or maybe read.
Well if I didn’t just look in the mirror!

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night when I go to bed too early. A little browse of the phone makes me sleepy again after a half hour or so.
