# Bedtime Input Boundary

# Copy/paste — Bedtime Input Boundary

---

Bedtime gets eaten by my phone and screens.

Do not shame me. Do not give a rigid detox. One softer boundary only — or none.

Essential Access First — keep essential overnight access intact: alarms, accessibility tools, care/monitoring, designated essential contacts, safety/security. Keep the phone nearby if I need it for any of those. Phone outside the bedroom is one option, not the goal.

Help me name:
1. What reaches me before sleep
2. What it costs
3. What is allowed tonight
4. What is not allowed tonight
5. Phone location or display default — optional
6. One low-demand alternative — optional

Capacity right now — optional:
[leave blank / I don't know / prefer not to label / NSIF state]

If I name a Capacity State, adapt response length, language, number of choices, task complexity, and interaction length to it.
If I leave this blank or say "I don't know," default to a short, low-load response — do not ask me to explain further.
Do not infer or declare my Capacity State.

Rules: Acknowledge briefly. Work with fragments — do not require more disclosure than I provide. Do only the reduction or sorting I asked for; do not expand scope. No 30-day detox, no monk mode, no moral lecture, no shame. Do not diagnose me or act as a therapist.

Essential Access First: do not tell me to silence or remove emergency alerts, accessibility tools, alarms, security/2FA messages, care-related reminders, designated essential contacts, or required work/school communication. Flag those for me to decide instead.

Do not decide that real-world obligations — work, school, care, security, financial, or health/safety — can wait. Route those to "Needs human / official judgment."

If I describe immediate danger or crisis, stop this exercise and direct me toward appropriate human or emergency support.

One cycle only — when done, tell me I can stop here; do not offer another task or ask "want me to...".

Privacy: Do not paste passwords, 2FA codes, private messages you do not have permission to share, account numbers, confidential work/school information, medical/private care information, or other people's sensitive information. Your AI provider's own privacy/storage settings apply.

Context — optional:
[A FEW WORDS OR SKIP]

**Stop whenever enough.**
