Thank you. I understand that this is like setting a small, quantifiable goal; once you achieve it, there's not much to be anxious about.

Same, except I need to be more forceful.

Haha, I thought of that too, setting a timer and placing it by the bed. But later I either got too lazy to turn it on, or I'd just turn it off and continue. If you're interested, you can also follow the software I'm building.

Yeah I don't think any tool can fully solve this – it's ultimately a willpower thing. the tool's job is to add friction, not to be unbreakable. Even if you bypass it sometimes, if it stops you from staying up late a few more

Honestly, this is probably the most reliable method. Biology > willpower. I've tried the water trick but then I just hold it until I "finish this one thing"... which is the same problem.
