It's not the alarm. It never was.
Your phone sleeps within arm's reach because it's the alarm. That's the whole deal.
It isn't the alarm. It's the thing you grabbed at 12:47 a.m. to scroll one more time.
It's why the phone has to be in reach at 11. It's why it has to be in reach at 7. It's the errand you always have.
It was never about willpower. It was the alarm.
5 things that don't stop you scrolling at midnight. And the one that does.
You've probably tried three of them.
Screen Time limits
You set it for 10 p.m. You've tapped “Ignore Limit” every night since.
A lock you hold the key to isn't a lock.
Night Shift
It's just an excuse to keep you scrolling.
Turns out you'll doomscroll until it's too late.
Charging it across the room
You got up. You got it. You brought it back to bed.
Six feet isn't friction when the alarm's on the other side of it.
Do Not Disturb
It stops the phone bothering you.
It has never been the phone bothering you.
Deleting social media
One week. Then you re-downloaded them.
You're not fighting the scroll. You're fighting people whose job is to get you back.
Get a backup
You don't have to give anything up. Just get a backup.
You already tried putting it across the room. It came back — because the alarm was on it, and you needed it.
Give the alarm to a clock that can't do anything else, and there's nothing on that phone that needs you until morning. It stays where you put it.
Get the clock — $39.99 →The six feet finally works.
It goes on the nightstand
Set the time. Set the alarm. Done. No wifi password, no app, no settings menu to renegotiate with yourself at 1 a.m.
The phone charges across the room
And this time it stays there. You've got no errand — nothing on it needs you until morning.
Two weeks in
Your phone spent the night on the dresser.
You didn't go and get it.
There's no 12:47 anymore.
You didn't give up your phone. You just stopped needing it in reach.
Goes up to $54.99 on August 1

Don't take our word for it. We're a clock.
Dr. Shalini Paruthi, via CNN
A sleep doctor makes the same point in CNN: stop using the phone as the alarm and it gets much easier to get it out of the bedroom — which cuts distraction and putting sleep off.

The 2 a.m. questions.
I use it for podcasts and white noise.
Then the phone stays. This only takes the alarm job — what else it does is your business.
Though a $12 speaker and a clock costs less than the hour you lost last night.
I'll sleep through it.
Maybe, some mornings.
But sleep through a phone and you wake up in a feed. Sleep through this and you're just asleep, next to a bell that's still going.
I need it for emergencies.
This doesn't solve that. Where the phone sleeps is your call.
What does it run on?
One AA. Not included.
Do I need an app?
No. There isn't one.
What if it's not for me?
30 days, any reason. You don't have to explain yourself and we won't ask you to.
The one thing we won't leave until step two: you cover the postage back to us. There's no prepaid label. The 30 days are unconditional — the return trip is on you.
Not buying today?
We'll email you once, before the price goes up on August 1. That's the only one you'll get.
