How to get rid of late night compulsion
- Don’t enjoy the fulfillment of procrastination.
Some people get a sense of accomplishment from getting work done at the last minute, which only exacerbates the level of procrastination afterwards. Procrastinators are actually putting extra stress on themselves and then enjoying the satisfaction of overcoming the stress. This kind of self-abuse self-challenge is very energy-intensive and absolutely unacceptable.
- Slowly learn to adjust your habits.
Learn to slowly adjust this bad life habit. At the same time, try not to bring work home and move your bedtime half an hour earlier each week. Develop a correct self-awareness, don't be immersed in pressure all the time, find an outlet for pressure, and release some pressure through the people around you. Exercise more and develop the habit of morning exercise. As long as you stick to it, the habit of going to bed early and getting up early will be fixed.
- Control the occurrence of late sleep.
After the thought of going to bed late appears, you should control the implementation of this thought, deal with it hard, seriously and positively, strengthen your willpower against this thought, and make up your mind to get rid of this bad habit.
- Learn various decompression methods.
Whether it's "staying at home," surfing the Internet, or going out to sing and dance, they're all good ways to decompress, but they're not the only, nor the best. If possible, release gym stress or some more rewarding hobby. In fact, whether it is psychological or physiological, the habit of going to bed early and getting up early is one of the best ways to reduce stress given by nature. Why give up?
- Distract your attention
Distraction is the act of taking attention away from OCD symptoms, even for a few minutes. First, choose certain behaviors rather than compulsive handwashing or checking. Any interesting and constructive action will do. It is best to engage in your hobbies, such as walking, exercising, listening to music, reading, playing on the computer and playing basketball.
