For Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds putting his phone down at night is a "weirdly and unexpectedly restorative" practice that he has learned during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Hollywood star while gearing up for his latest Netflix release 'Red Notice' talked about the things he has learned from the pandemic outbreak on the US TV show 'Extra'. He revealed several things on the show which included his decision to avoid phone at night.
"One thing I've learned to do is put the phone down at night," he said.
He terms this as a discipline that is hard to follow in today's time when everyone is addicted to their phones and social media. He further said that putting the phone down has really changed his life.
Ryan also said that this has spared him more time to spend on his family.

Reynolds recently announced he's taking a planned sabbatical from Hollywood and further explained his reasons for the break during his interview with 'Extra'.
"The pandemic was really hard on kids... I recognise and acknowledge the fact that I'm obscenely fortunate to not be paycheck to paycheck, so I was able to be home with my kids when we were in lockdown," he said.
"It made me think how important that time is and then all of the films that I had... were suddenly back to back-to-back as we came out of the pandemic and that was really hard because my kids were in school and I couldn't bring them with me."
"My wife (Blake Lively) and I tend to not work at the same time so we can always be with the kids and that was a real struggle for me and I just felt like I needed to be home more."

He added: "So it doesn't mean that I'm stopping work or stopping development or stopping other things I'm doing, I'm just not shooting films in the next little while to at least work from home and be there at morning and at night."
