How I did it: Understanding my time wasters and my needs that are satisfied by doing all those time wasters helped me to stay clear. I was so hooked to facebook, msn, youtube etc. Always thought that people might be responding to me and I need to reply asap. Yes, that's right. The need for instant response and of course instant gratification.
But, when I started having worse skin, dark eye circles, weaker immunity and fatigue, it was really not worth it especially when lack of sleep also contributed to premature aging. However, it was difficult initially since the night activities make me feel relaxed after a day's work.
But that changed when I started meditating at night which gave me a sense of being relaxed especially when I practised loving-kindness meditation where I end the day by sending love to all beings in the world Am glad that I persevered for at least 21 days for it to become a habit.

Lessons & tips: Identifying the problems which lack of sleep brought - the more
important these are, the more it would motivate you to sleep early.
Find an alternative to meet your needs by things that take away time from your sleep. Persevere for at least 21 days for it to become a habit. And if you're not able to, it's okay. Just keep trying!
