Summary
An NHS doctor warns that checking your phone first thing in the morning can trigger anxiety and stress before you’re even fully awake. He introduces a simple “15-minute rule” — keep your phone out of the bedroom and avoid screens for the first 15 minutes after waking. Use that time for gentle movement or gratitude reflection instead. He also advises stepping away from your bed to stretch or walk outside before diving into work or driving — a small shift that can dramatically improve your mood, energy, and overall mental health.
