Binge setting on my phone was ruining my sleep, subtitles fixed it

I used to watch one episode at 11 PM and suddenly it was 3 AM, then I noticed my screen brightness and auto-play kept me wired. Switching to subtitles with the volume low and turning off auto-play after each episode totally changed my wind-down routine, has anyone else tried this trick to stop the endless next episode pull?

Oh man, this hits way too close to home. I did the exact same thing a few months ago, except my fix was switching to documentaries about space. Nothing puts me to sleep faster than hearing someone explain black holes for the 47th time, but now I have this weird side effect where I wake up in the middle of the night convinced I know how to build a rocket. My wife says I mumble stuff like "escape velocity" in my sleep now. The subtitles thing is smart though, I might have to steal that because my volume goes from zero to earthquake in about two seconds when I forget to lower it.
