I am a kind of person who always sleep late in the night. I know this is not good for my health. But it's really so hard for me to put my smart phone down and close my eyes. So every night I just lie down on my bed and fiddle with my phone which is like a small window in the darkness, and what inside the window is a fantastic world, attracting me so much that I can't persuade myself to sleep early.
Do you have familiar confusion? and how do you deal with it?

I have a hard time sleeping at night too. I always resort to using my phone. Now, I limit myself with a set time I have to sleep by and go to sleep.

@transcendent It is for me too. And then the next morning I regret not sleeping earlier because I'd wake up tired.

@transcendent 4AM is already the beginning of another hot day here, so I want to wake up that early to be refreshed after a morning bath

Well, why do you get up so early? How do you make it?

OK, turn off the wifi and keep busy the whole day. I would have a try though it is hard to do so. Where are you from?

Try to put your handy phone farther from you.That is just disciplining yourself, and soon you can have that habit of sleeping early.

Perhaps reading a book or getting yourself really tired at night you would be able to sleep. I was once like in your situation sleeping late at night but I did something different I set the time I would sleep for example 11:30 p.m. Then I just relax my mind listening to soft relaxing instrumental music. Basically doing it over and over again every night becomes easy then you fall asleep like a baby.

Well, it sounds effective. I would download some soft relaxing instrument musics.
