Our college freshman son lost his phone a few months ago and we could not get him a new one for over a week. He said it was the best week of his life, that he did not realize how much time he wasted on it. He needs a phone for many things at school, most importantly 2 factor authentication to get into his Canvas account (where all of his schoolwork is), but he said it was really eye opening and has changed his perspective. Said he now oftentimes leaves his phone in his dorm purposely.
My son's phone fell in a river over Christmas break and he asked us not to replace it. He says it's the best decision he's made in ages. He's sleeping better, reading more books, more engaged, and generally more focused.
I put my phone away every night before 10 and don’t retrieve it until after 7 in the morning, after waking up, showering, and getting the kids up. It’s toxic at night in the bedroom. As my chiropractor said, your bed is for two things, and one is sleep.

I like being manhandled ... or woman-handled, in this case ;-)
An old style Flip Phone will allow texts and 2 factor authentication. That's my compromise.
Great comment.
Lucky! Wish ours would lose his phone and make this discovery on his own.
