Explanation:

- The passage discusses ways to prepare for sleep, focusing on reducing screen time before bed.

- Option 1 ("former") refers to something mentioned earlier. It doesn't fit the context of the sentence, which relates to timing activities before sleep.

- Option 2 ("before") is correct. It indicates a time period prior to the action of getting into bed, which fits the sentence context perfectly.

- Option 3 ("previous") refers to something that came before another in a sequence of events. This does not specifically indicate the timeframe in terms of minutes before an action.

- Option 4 ("latter") usually refers to the second of two mentioned things. It is not appropriate when referring to time before getting into bed.
