Can a $250 alarm clock break my doomscrolling habit? I slept next to the Dreamie for a month to find out.

For years, my nighttime routine has involved a lengthy social media binge. It always starts as "one last scroll" as a way to decompress, before sliding into a mindless midnight swiping spree. I've spent many a night looking like that one Sarah Paulson meme, face glowing in the dark as my brain slurps up an endless feed of viral chum.

I know I'm not alone: Doomscrolling is practically a national pastime in 2026. Studies indicate that anywhere from 31 to 64 percent of U.S. adults do it regularly.
