Using electronic devices, engaging in activating activities, or meditating too long in bed can interfere with the bed's association with sleep.

“A lot of times when people are struggling with sleep you know what they're doing in their bed they're reading they're scrolling they're watching TV they're listening to podcasts”

“So distraction, the activation, all of this stuff, it's you're adding energy in instead of taking energy out. Relaxation is fine to do in bed, but if it's brief, you know, if you're spending, you know, a half an hour meditating in bed, that might be a little too long. If you're I I've known people who like they they have this whole hourong routine that they do like by the time that hour is done, the bed is no longer predictably tied to sleep anymore.”
