@Blort Nothing works for me either. if my brain wants to run, it'll keep running. Only thing I can suggest is exercise to burn all the excess energy, and then slowly start pushing yourself to change your biological clock.

I've given up on it myself and accepted my fate as a night owl

Yeah, I would except I have to be up at 5:30am for work! When I've been on holidays, it also goes beyond being a night owl, to the point we're I'm going to bed as the sun rises... 😱

It's not always though, but I'm having trouble picking any pattern beyond getting stuck on the computer...

@Blort switch to reading paper books instead of screen time. And exercise is all I can suggest.

A good suggestion. I do 4-6 karate classes a week in the evenings, and have tried to get myself to only read and not use any screens after class, but haven't had much success so far. It seems that almost every evening I get back from work ~6:30 and some task comes up that needs to be done on the PC immediately. Then before I know it it's 2am in the morning! 🤦‍♂️

I'm sure a bunch of these things are false urgent, but they genuinely feel real, important and urgent in the moment.

@Blort I used to get up at 6am for periods as well. It's really a force of will thing after all your alarms etc. Maybe it will help if you remind yourself that there's no urgency in "someone being wrong on the internet" etc? (Assuming doomscrolling on the phone on mastodon or whatever, I don't know what you're doing :D )
