When couples struggle to break phone addiction patterns together

My partner and I both spend hours every night scrolling our phones in bed instead of talking or sleeping and we've started having the same conversation about 'putting devices away' but then we both just end up back on our screens within minutes. We're losing each other to our feeds and we both know it but neither of us seems able to break the cycle even when we're trying together.
