Take care of your body because your brain is part of your body.
1) Get yourself on a sleep schedule. Figure out if you need 7.5 hours, 8 hours, or 9 hours of sleep. Then, pick a time to go to sleep and a time to wake up and stick to it for both weekends and weekdays. You will have exceptions, but it should be the baseline to which you return. If you find you are consistently tired, see a doctor and check if you have thyroid problems or sleep apnea.
2) Excercise vigorously at least a little bit every day. This will help you get sleep.
3) Eat good food. Avoid too much simple sugars. If you don't already cook then either buy a slow cooker and the iOS/Android app Paprika. Or go to /r/mealprepsunday. Alternately, try Soylent as your baseline.
Also, try using the OSX app SelfControl or the windows app ColdTurkey to block websites like these.
