Ways to develop habits: start small, give yourself positive reinforcement, give yourself negative reinforcement, get someone else to force you… Try committing to no matter what go to bed without devices at midnight on Sundays? Try taking short naps at predetermined times and rewarding yourself with chocolate chips when you successfully lie down with an alarm prepped to get you back up? Try putting aside $100 in singles each month and burning one whenever you stay up after thinking “I should go to sleep”? Do you have a roommate? Can you get someone to call you at 11:30 PM each night and stay on the phone until you’re tucked in? :) Have you tried reframing sleep to yourself as a productivity booster rather than a time-waster? “Okay present self, you know future you will think you could have gotten more done if you just went to sleep now rather than staying up trying to do things, so hop to bed now”
