Sleepy Scrolls Begone: Instagram’s New Feature Tells You It’s Bedtime

Have you ever found yourself scrolling through Instagram late at night, only to realize that hours have passed by? Well, you’re not alone. Instagram’s new feature called “Nighttime Nudges” is here to help. It’s like having a virtual parent reminding you to go to bed after a long day of scrolling through your feed and watching Reels. It’s a relatable struggle, especially for teens who tend to stay up late glued to their phones.

It’s like having a virtual parent telling you to turn off your phone and go to sleep. It’s not clear whether this bedtime reminder is just for those under 18 or for all users, but the intention is to help people use the app in a more meaningful and intentional way. It’s like a gentle nudge to get off your phone and get some rest.

Joining the ranks of Instagram’s time management arsenal – ‘Take a Break’ feature and parental supervisory perks – this new “Nighttime Nudges” function sidles in alongside “Quiet Mode,” basically the app’s version of “Do Not Disturb.” Now, whether teens will heed these bedtime bells or just chuckle and keep scrolling is anyone’s guess. Zzz’s or memes? The nightly teen conundrum continues.
