Stopping a show in the middle is exactly what you should do. The last 5 minutes are meant to hook you! "I can't stop now something exciting is happening and I need to watch the next episode!" Stopping in the middle derails that end-of-show endorphin rush.

Interested to see you do no TV. One thing I've realized: I and everyone around me have a severe entertainment addiction. I cut out watching TV when I'm alone, and that was a big deal, but it's a constant battle not to replace the TV with some other entertainment media at all times. For example watching this video. When I succeed at cutting out the entertainment my days are productive to the extreme, or what my grandfather would have probably called a normal weekday.

Notice how he has improved HER quality of life by handling his self care and being more present for the family. She can shower and attend to her own self care because he showed up mentally and physically during another slice of the day. So many partners (majority males) need to hear that part

[@drallagon]

Hmm, I'm no expert, but every time I was in a relationship and had to sleep on the same bed as my partner I would wake up randomly at night, just as you described. If you don't already sleep separate, at least that'd be a video idea (even if less intimate, at the end of the day sleeping well is worth it, as you've described this video) lol

I know it's basically the same joke every time, but Craig's parents yelling and reading/scrolling cracks me up SO MUCH. Long live this joke. I mean great video too but I know which part I'm replaying while I fail to go to bed at a consistent time

Fellow night-procrastinator here and it's so helpful to see this working for you! I've realized lately that for me, going to bed later and later is actually part of a stress-procrastination-anxiety cycle. It created more stress instead of relieving it. Instead I need a more consistent routine; then if I need to deviate from the routine sometimes, that is ok. This is really encouraging "data" to see, always enjoy your journey to self improvement!

Only 6pm here, "I could go to bed right now" then comes to midnight "I'm so awake."

[@lindacurtis7267]

I love that you used “bewildered”. Maybe you need to do a “bring back some big words we’ve all forgotten the meaning of” challenge. Perhaps.

I go to bed every night at 8. Usually I read till about 10 then go to sleep. I get up every morning usually between 6 and 7. I definitely feel better when I stick to that schedule. Ive always suffered from insomnia and having a sleep schedule really does help.

[@natashahussain6281]

"but you can't invent time. It's about sacrifice. I just have to shift priorities." I don't know if you realized as you said it, but that's like an inspirational line in a really great movie.

I USED TO BE A "NIGHT PERSON"

[@caraarslan]

The most difficult challenge but the most rewarding too.

A confirmed night owl since my childhood, it has been very difficult for me to learn to go to bed. But when I had a health crash, I started working on anything that looked like it might help and …sleep, well, that was huge! So at 8 PM every night most of the time I start getting ready for bed. It’s amazing what washing one’s face, putting on pajamas and brushing one’s teeth can do for getting sleepy! I wake up early now and have several hours all to myself. It is the best thing for my health I have ever done!

Paying attention to when you start streaming a show can make this whole thing easier. My rule is I don't start a 30 minute show after 9pm or an hour show before 8pm, so regardless of what I'm watching the show ends within the bedtime window.

[@JonJosephKuhn]

We're just watching Craig mature and it is a darn wonderful thing. Sidenote, getting up earlier and actually cooking breakfast for my kids was one of the best decisions I have made.

[@TheDhammaHub]

A regular sleep cycle is pretty damn nice! Personally, I find it even more important to get up at roughly the same time every day

[@Kerlsayer]

I used to stay awake till 1am etc when I was in high school/uni, and then as a proper adult I found myself naturally just wanting to go to bed earlier.

[@kurtpleavin]

Craigs entire self-development journey radiates (undiagnosed) ADHD to me. So many things from the alcohol use, to the sleep issues, the needing to set monthly goals/tasks as a means of actually sticking to them.. Good to see them working!

[@MarcoVos]

Hey Craig, many congratulations to resetting your biological clock. It's way better this way isn't it. I've been where you are and I remember it was terrible, so glad our sleep troubles are over. Every time you mentioned your sleep trouble I was there in the comment section trying to get your attention with these exact tips. I'm not too mad at you for not seeing that ;-) I might also have given up on that, so maybe not every time exactly.

[@Cornan1980]

I love every time Craig's parents make an appearance.
