Your mind and body needs rest. Your quality of life is closely related to your quality of sleep.
Rest and take breaks from stress, work, toxins, etc...
With the invention of the lightbulb and technology we can run 24/7!! But our bodies are meant to rise with the sun and set soon after the sun does.
So many things happen to our bodies when we push ourselves to stay up or burn the candle on both ends.
At about 9:00 pm we need to be laying down and letting our adrenals flush.
You need to hit a restorative DELTA sleep that cannot be achieved with sleeping pills, it's only from good deep natural uninterrupted sleep. Growth hormone is released that heal and repair micro tears in our muscles and important hormones like serotonin are released.
Read in bed instead of using your phone, laptop or tv. Try not to view electronics 2 hours before bed.
Get rid of flashing and beeping devices, keep the room dark to signal the body to release melatonin.
Studies have shown those trying to break bad habits, addictions or lose weight should always go to bed before 9:00 pm. After 9:00 is when your cravings start to intensify and you will power slackens.
"Retire early to your beds and rise early that your mind may be invigorated"
If you have trouble sleeping be sure you are rising with the sun. Get up a couple hours before you have to head out the door. Plan, organize, meditate, exercise, and set goals for the day.
It helps to be on a regular schedule. If you can try to get to bed at the same time each night, but even if you get to bed late, wake up at 5:30 or some set time and train your body to wake early. In the evening your body will be tired and naturally go to bed earlier. Plan your day so that you will be able to get to bed a a reasonable time.
