100%. I've been sleeping poorly recently. Made the decision to leave my phone in another room. Immediately started falling asleep within 30mins (instead of 2-3 hours) and felt much better. After a couple of weeks I brought the phone back in. Instinctually, before I even knew what I was doing, I was picking it up. A few mins would pass, I was still awake, I'll watch some Reels. It was completely unintentional. As an ex-smoker I can confidently say this stuff is much more addictive and much harder to quit. And just like the cigarette companies, the engineers and data scientists know what they're doing. It's evil.
