“I know you aren’t asking for advice, but I actually found a really good compromise on this. My husband sometimes reads aloud to me during the no-screen time. We typically just do a ‘be in bed around an hour before sleep time,’ and it’s a chance to cuddle or read a book together, which puts us in a restful headspace.
The number of times I would start falling asleep to my husband reading was many, but it was also a delight to be cozy and close every evening.”
