Is the tip "Having a tech-free hour before bed helps both parents and children fall asleep earlier" correct and helpful, as mentioned in the episode #48–Matt Walker, Ph.D., on Sleep (Part 2 of 3): heart disease, cancer, causes of sleep disruption... and the clip Children and Sleep?

Would a tech-free hour before bed be helpful?
All of this is to say that sleep is about more than just feeling rested, as it greatly impacts your mental and physical abilities.
